One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Kro's eyes widened to their limit instantly, his pupils filled with disbelief and terror.

How is this possible?!

How did he know that name?!

This is a past that he spent three years trying to completely erase!

But he was, after all, a seasoned martial arts expert, and in such a life-or-death situation, his instincts kicked in and he reacted.

"Silent Step!"

Despite the excruciating pain in his chest, Kro stomped his foot and retreated several meters.

He covered his bleeding wound, the blood staining his white gloves.

Those eyes hidden behind the glasses instantly shed all their gentleness and refinement, transforming from a feigned, mild-mannered butler into a bloodthirsty beast ready to devour its prey.

"Who...who are you?!" Kro roared, his voice distorted with pain.

"Zheng—"

Viktor slowly drew his longsword, pointed the tip diagonally at the ground, and looked at him with a smile.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I accidentally dropped it. I hope you don't mind."

Viktor tilted his head, his red Sharingan looking particularly eerie in the shadows.

"As for who I am? I'm just that... filthy, low-class pirate you're talking about."

Before he could finish speaking, the smile on Viktor's face instantly turned into a sinister grin.

"Body Instantaneous Movement Technique!"

"Whoosh!"

Only a fleeting shadow remained in the air.

The next second, Victor appeared out of thin air in front of Kro.

The longsword in his hand, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, was thrust mercilessly toward his throat!

"What?!"

Kro's eyes widened. That speed?!

How is that possible?!

"spoon!!"

Kro dared not take the attack head-on and immediately unleashed his ultimate technique.

His figure vanished instantly, moving at a speed too fast for the naked eye to detect, attempting to circle around to Viktor's blind spot and launch a counterattack.

But with the dynamic vision of those Sharingan eyes, Kuro's movement trajectory was like a movie in slow motion.

"Too slow."

Victor didn't even turn around. He simply twisted his wrist, and his longsword slashed diagonally at the air behind him on the left!

"Pfft!!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was clearly audible.

"ah!!!"

A piercing scream of pain rang out.

Viktor turned around and increased his strength.

Hand up and down!

A left arm, dressed in a black suit, was thrown high into the air, accompanied by gushing blood, before falling heavily onto the grass.

Kro staggered out, clutching his severed arm, his face ashen.

At this moment, there was no trace of the "hundred schemes" ferocity on his face.

Looking into Viktor's red eyes, he felt nothing but endless fear.

"How...how could you read my movements...?"

Chloe trembled as she backed away. "Is it because...those red eyes?"

"It's because you're too slow."

Viktor said coldly, without any intention of wasting words.

He sheathed his longsword, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, chakra frantically gathering at his throat, preparing to end the battle in one fell swoop.

"Fire Release..."

"ah!!!!"

Just then, a terrifying scream echoed from ahead.

It's Kaya.

Viktor paused involuntarily in his hand seal movements.

He had deliberately chosen this secluded corner to quietly eliminate Chloe and avoid frightening the young lady.

I didn't expect her to come looking for me herself.

"A great opportunity!"

Despite losing an arm, Kuro's cunning as a veteran pirate allowed him to seize this only chance of survival.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

With his remaining right hand, he hurled several throwing knives straight at Viktor's face.

He then endured the excruciating pain and activated "Spoon" again, transforming into a black shadow and frantically darting into the dense forest nearby.

"Trying to run away?"

Viktor was about to give chase when he caught a glimpse of Kaya standing to the side.

This frail and sickly young lady witnessed the bloody scene of her usually gentle butler having his arm chopped off, and stared in horror.

Then his body went limp and he was about to faint on the ground.

"Tsk. Maybe next time."

Viktor had no choice but to give up the pursuit, swinging his sword to deflect the throwing knives with a "clang clang clang," and then activated his Body Flicker Technique.

"Whoosh."

He caught Kaya just a second before she fell to the ground.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for defeating target: Hundred-Plan - Kro.]

[Battle Rating: A (Clean and efficient, but failed to finish off the opponent).]

[Gained 400 Ninja Points.]

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

Usopp's angry shouts came from afar.

Immediately afterward, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami also rushed over.

Nami quickly stepped forward and took the unconscious Kaya from Victor's arms.

She glanced at the severed arm on the grass, then at Victor holding the sword, her eyes widening in shock.

"Victor! Why did you suddenly attack someone?! That's the butler!"

Viktor flicked the blood off his sword and sighed.

"He's not some kind of butler."

"If I'm not mistaken, he's a famous pirate, the former captain of the Black Cat Pirates, the Hundred-Purpose Kuro."

Victor pointed in the direction of the forest. "He's been lurking here disguised as a butler for three years. He must have ulterior motives."

"I just exposed him, and he tried to kill me to silence me."

Luffy, holding his straw hat, looked at Viktor and suddenly broke into a bright smile.

"Oh, I see. Victor, I believe you."

There was no doubt, only absolute trust.

Zoro, standing to the side, crossed his arms and immediately began to ponder.

"Ah... I remember now. Three years ago, there was indeed a great pirate named Kuro in the East Blue with a bounty of 1600 million Berries."

"But I remember the news saying that he had already been arrested and executed by the Navy, right?"

"1600 million?! That's incredible!!"

Luffy's focus is always unique, and his eyes are wide open like saucers.

"That...that butler...was he really a pirate?!"

Usopp, who had just run over, opened his mouth wide in disbelief upon hearing this.

But looking at the severed arm on the ground and Victor's serious expression, he was already mostly convinced.

Then he realized what was happening, looked at the unconscious Kaya, and anxiously called out:

"Anyway, let's take Miss Kaya to rest first! Her health isn't good to begin with!"

"Okay, leave it to me."

Nami immediately picked up Kaya and prepared to take her to the villa.

Nami paused as she passed Viktor.

Looking at Victor's calm profile, she felt a pang of guilt as she recalled her indiscriminate yelling.

She leaned closer to Viktor, blushing, and whispered:

"I'm sorry... Victor. I misunderstood you earlier."

Victor gave her a strange look, then tilted his ear as if he hadn't heard her clearly:

"Hey? What?"

"..."

Nami's forehead veins bulged instantly, and her guilt vanished.

"Go to hell!!!"

"Hey! You guys over there! What did you do to Miss Kaya?!"

Just then, the villa's guards, having heard Kaya's scream, grabbed their weapons and rushed towards the scene menacingly.

……

the other side.

Deep in the dense forest.

"Ha ha……"

Kro, who had fled into the forest, clutched the wound on his severed arm, blood seeping continuously from between his fingers.

His face was deathly pale, and he limped desperately toward the coast.

His Black Cat Pirates are currently stationed there!

At this moment, his expression was extremely gloomy, and his features were twisted together with pain and hatred.

Things took an unexpected turn.

What was supposed to be a perfect plan was ruined by that red-eyed brat!

And he even lost an arm!

"Damn it!! What kind of monster is that?!"

Kro still felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled those all-seeing red eyes.

But the resentment in his eyes grew stronger.

"Unforgivable... Absolutely unforgivable..."

He wants to go back!

Call up the old troops!

All troops, attack!

"I'm going to slaughter that village and those damned brats!!!"

"I will make you pay the price!!!"

In the forest, echoes resounded the furious growls of a wounded beast.
