One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

A full month has passed since the devastating battle at Marineford that shocked the world.

The Calm Belt, Ruscaina Island.

This island, covered by lush, pristine vegetation, experiences forty-eight severe weather cycles throughout the year and is home to countless enormous, ferocious, and bloodthirsty beasts.

However, deep within this perilous jungle, a series of earth-shattering roars could be heard, startling countless birds into flight.

Two familiar figures were engaged in a fierce and unparalleled close-quarters combat.

"Bang! Boom!"

Viktor did not use any hand seals or fancy ninjutsu.

He simply wrapped his arms tightly with deep, dark, high-level Armament Haki, and engaged in a primal physical duel with Luffy, who was also wielding Armament Haki and had activated Gear Second.

The two fought tirelessly in the forest, their fists whistling and their legs clashing.

Every time fists and feet collided, a visible white shockwave would rise up.

The towering trees around them, each as thick as several people could hug, were destroyed in large numbers and snapped in half by the terrifying aftershocks of the collision between the two, like fragile matchsticks, with wood chips and dirt flying everywhere.

In terms of fighting skills and the application of Haki, Viktor undoubtedly holds an absolute advantage.

Every block, parry, and counterattack he made was incredibly precise.

However, Luffy possesses an abnormally high resistance to blows, almost like real rubber, and seemingly inexhaustible stamina.

He was like an unkillable cockroach, repeatedly blasted away by Viktor's heavy punches, smashing through several large trees.

Once again, roaring loudly, they charged forward like cannonballs.

"I can't stand your idiotic stamina..."

Viktor wiped the sweat from his brow and sighed helplessly.

Viktor's eyes narrowed sharply as Luffy charged at him again, roaring like a mad bull.

He stood still, stretched out his right hand, and suddenly spread his five fingers wide.

In an instant, the hard ground beneath Luffy's feet exploded!

Several thick, dark wooden vines, resembling giant pythons, burst from the ground and instantly wrapped Luffy, who had no time to dodge in mid-air, tightly into a giant wooden cocoon.

The moment Luffy was entangled by these strange vines, he felt as if the power surging within him had been sucked away out of thin air.

The bubbling pink steam on his body vanished instantly, and his previously taut muscles were completely powerless.

He was like a deflated balloon that had been punctured, limp and powerless within the rough vines binding him.

"Ugh... Damn it!"

"Why is it this trick again!"

"Victor! Let me go!"

Luffy writhed helplessly in the vines, making loud, dissatisfied noises of protest.

Viktor watched this scene, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

This is a Wood Release ninjutsu that he naturally awakened and mastered after fully integrating the "Sage Body" rewarded by the system.

In recent practical exploration, Victor was pleasantly surprised to discover that his Wood Release technique had a strange effect of "absorbing and suppressing the physical strength of Devil Fruit users".

While this suppressive power isn't as absolute as pure Seastone, it's still a trump card that can catch an opponent off guard when facing an Ability User.

Watching Luffy wriggle like a caterpillar.

Viktor laughed and snapped his fingers, quickly retracting the entangled wood vines back underground.

Freed from his restraints, Luffy fell to the ground with a "plop".

Then, Viktor sprawled out on the messy grass, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath.

"Phew... It's all because your stamina is terrifying."

"If this keeps going on, it'll never end."

Luffy also collapsed onto the muddy ground next to him, panting heavily with his legs spread wide.

He casually picked his nose with his little finger while looking at the sunlight filtering through the leaves overhead.

He spoke in a tone rarely heard before, one that carried a hint of deep meaning and a touch of melancholy:

"Phew... Your stamina is still more terrifying..."

"Nami... Robin..."

Luffy casually counted on his fingers, watching the white clouds drift across the sky, and muttered as he threw out this super nuclear bomb.

Hearing Luffy suddenly utter this line, packed with information and profound meaning, was quite surprising.

Viktor, who had just been sprawled out on the grass, suddenly sprang straight up from the ground as if he had been electrocuted.

His deep black eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets, as he stared at Luffy on the ground in utter shock, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Who...who exactly are you?!"

"How could Luffy's single-celled organism brain possibly contain something like this!"

Looking at Viktor's bewildered expression, as if his worldview had collapsed.

Luffy clutched his stomach, rolled around on the grassy ground, and laughed heartily without any regard for his image, laughing until tears almost streamed down his face.

After laughing enough, Luffy dusted off his shorts and slowly stood up.

He walked up to Viktor, his playful demeanor vanished, and his expression became more serious and solemn than ever before.

He straightened his chest and declared loudly and firmly:

"I am Luffy!"

"He's going to be the Pirate King!!!"

Then, he extended his scarred right hand, his clear eyes filled with unwavering trust in his companion:

"Please continue to help me as always, First Mate."

Victor looked at the captain in front of him, who was always unpredictable and seemed simple-minded but actually had a wise and foolish side.

He shook his head helplessly, a relieved smile spreading across his lips.

Then he reached out and grabbed Luffy's hand tightly, using the leverage to straighten his body:

"Ah, isn't that obvious?"

However, the moment their hands parted, and the atmosphere was at its peak of warmth and passion, they were still holding hands.

Victor, however, dusted himself off and casually remarked:

"But... I have to go."

"Huh?!?"

One second Luffy was pretending to be a deep and mature captain, but the next second he instantly lost his composure.

His eyes widened like saucers, his mouth gaped open, and his cheeks puffed up like inflated buns as he protested loudly:

"What the hell... you bastard!"

"How could you just leave like that!"

Victor ignored Luffy's protests and shouts.

He bent down with a smile and picked up the tattered straw hat that had fallen onto the grass not far away during the battle.

He carefully patted away the dust and grass clippings with the back of his hand, then walked up to Luffy and solemnly put the straw hat back on Luffy's head.

"Leave your remaining Haki training to old man Rayleigh."

Viktor gazed intently at the distant, turbulent coastline.

"I'm heading to Baltimore."

He reached out and gently pressed down the brim of Luffy's hat, obscuring his bright eyes in the shadow of the straw hat:

See you in two years, Luffy.

"When the time comes, we'll turn this new world upside down together."

In the shadow cast by the falling straw hat, Luffy stopped making a scene.

He was silent for a moment, then the corners of his mouth gradually turned upward, forming a brilliant and confident smile.

He suddenly raised his head, burst into laughter in the blinding sunlight, and that hearty laugh completely dispelled all the reluctance and gloom brought by parting:

"Hehehe! It's a deal then! See you in two years, Victor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy pushed off with his legs and jumped into Victor's arms.

The two embraced tightly, feeling the unbreakable bond and promise between them.

In the primeval forest where a gentle breeze is blowing, the leaves rustle.

The captain and first mate of the Straw Hat Pirates bid farewell on this secluded deserted island, each embarking on a journey of transformation.
