One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha
Chapter 273 The Dreamlike Dragon Palace! A Misaligned Plot
A row of bubble cars travels through a deep-sea passage made up of huge, colorful coral reefs.
The Straw Hat crew officially entered the magnificent Dragon Palace, which was perfectly enveloped by an enormous semi-circular bubble.
This is undoubtedly an architectural marvel in the deep sea.
Although it is 10,000 meters underwater, the incredible "Sun Tree Eve" perfectly transmits the sunlight from the sea surface to this place.
Sunlight pierced through the clear seawater and reflected on the Dragon Palace, making the entire massive palace complex shimmer with light, like a dreamlike fairyland that only appears in myths and legends.
"Wow! How spectacular! It's absolutely dazzling!"
Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper were currently pressed against the transparent window of the bubble car, shouting and yelling at the magnificent scenery outside, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
The bubble car landed smoothly.
As soon as the group stepped into the spacious and magnificent palace hall, they were greeted by two rows of beautifully dressed mermaid maids.
They swayed their beautiful fishtails and wore sweet smiles.
They all bent their slender waists in unison, bowing to welcome the distinguished guests who had traveled from afar.
Sanji, who had barely managed to maintain his composure on the road, had his eyes instantly burst into huge pink heart-shaped lights the moment he saw this scene.
Deep within his already fragile nasal cavity, a torrent of scalding blood began to surge uncontrollably, like a volcano about to erupt.
To prevent this idiotic, lecherous cook from dying again from excessive blood loss in the sacred Dragon Palace, thus becoming an indelible disgrace to the Straw Hat Pirates.
Zoro and Franky reacted quickly.
The two of them pulled out a thick iron chain from somewhere and quickly bound Sanji tightly, making him unable to move.
Chopper jumped up and stuffed two large wads of thick cotton wool into his steaming nostrils.
This comical scene immediately caused the mermaid maids on both sides to cover their mouths with silk handkerchiefs and let out a series of melodious giggles.
After passing through the hall, King Neptune hosted a grand state banquet of the highest caliber for the Straw Hat crew in the main hall of the palace.
On the spacious and luxurious long table, delicacies unique to the deep sea were laid out:
Premium deep-sea caviar that glows with fluorescence.
The hind leg meat of a giant sea monster, roasted to a golden brown and crispy perfection.
And all sorts of exotic seafood never heard of before, with an irresistible aroma.
Zoro wasn't interested in the exquisite food; instead, he boldly picked up a whole barrel of the finest sake that had been treasured in Ryugu Castle for hundreds of years and drank it down in one gulp.
The clear, mellow liquor flowed down his throat. He wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, praising it repeatedly and exclaiming how delicious it was.
Luffy, of course, sat in the very center of the banquet.
His hands moved so fast they became almost invisible to the naked eye as he frantically stuffed tons of meat and food into his mouth.
Along with his astonishing eating speed, his belly swelled up into a perfectly round ball at a visible rate.
Just as everyone was drinking and toasting each other.
Luffy's unusually shrugged nose suddenly twitched twice in the air.
He seemed to have caught some unusual information.
In the air filled with the aroma of wine and seafood, he could smell an exquisite fragrance that was a hundred times more fragrant than the top-quality food in the hall before him!
While everyone's attention was focused on King Neptune and no one was paying attention to him, Luffy quietly put down the bone he was gnawing on.
He muttered an excuse to go to the toilet and slipped out of the main hall like a slippery eel.
Following the alluring aroma, Luffy darted towards the "Royal Kitchen" of Ryugu Palace.
Halfway through the banquet, King Neptune, who was seated at the head of the table, put down the giant wine glass in his hand.
Looking down at the energetic Straw Hat crew, a deep sorrow appeared on his broad, smiling face.
He sighed helplessly and began to recount the enormous predicament currently facing the Fishman Island royal family in a low voice.
Aside from Hody Jones, the extreme thinker from Fishman Street who has been secretly plotting and trying to incite hatred.
What troubled the old king the most, made him angry, and left him feeling utterly powerless.
It was the user who ate the "Target-Target Fruit"—"Vander Decken IX".
In order to forcibly obtain the mermaid princess Shirahoshi.
For a full ten years, the psychologically twisted Deacon used his Devil Fruit powers to hurl various deadly weapons at the "Hard Shell Tower" where Shirahoshi lived.
Whether it's a sharp sword or a heavy boulder, once he locks onto it, he will relentlessly pursue it to the death.
This relentless harassment and assassination attempts forced the poor Princess Shirahoshi to stay indoors for a full ten years.
His daughter could only hide in that tall tower made of hard metal all day long.
Upon hearing about this heinous and perverse act, the righteous little thief Nami immediately raised her eyebrows in anger.
She was about to slam her hand on the table and stand up to curse the scumbag who bullied the girl.
Just then, the highest level of alarm suddenly sounded without warning over the Dragon Palace.
A Neptune general rushed into the hall in a panic and knelt on one knee:
"It's terrible! Your Majesty! That madman Deacon has attacked again!"
"This time...this time he threw a rusty battle axe bigger than the castle, flying straight toward the Hard-Shelled Tower!"
These words shocked everyone present.
Everyone immediately put down their wine glasses, rushed out of the main hall without hesitation, and looked up at the distant sky above the deep sea.
Above the Dragon Palace, in the clear seawater, a massive axe, accompanied by a terrifying whistling sound, was crashing down on the solitary tower deep within the Dragon Palace.
The giant axe was the size of a small mountain, and its mottled rust exuded a strong aura of death.
If it falls, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The surrounding Sea King soldiers were ashen-faced, knowing full well that they were powerless to stop such a devastating attack.
King Neptune's eyes widened in fury. He roared as he grabbed his golden trident, ready to charge forward and fight to the death to protect his beloved daughter.
At this critical moment, Viktor, who was familiar with the original plot, did not choose to help immediately.
He turned his head and looked around in the panicked crowd, his handsome brows furrowing slightly.
Wait, something's not right.
Where did Luffy run off to?
I remember this was a classic scene from the original work where he accidentally stumbled into the Hard Shell Tower and rescued the damsel in distress.
After looking around carefully, Victor finally confirmed a fact that left him speechless.
Luffy has really disappeared.
Looking at the deadly giant axe about to fall from the sky, Victor put down his wine glass and sighed.
With a soft "whoosh!" sound.
Under the shocked and astonished gazes of King Neptune, countless Sea King soldiers, and the Straw Hat crew.
Viktor vanished into thin air, as if he had completely melted into the air.
Meanwhile, inside the pitch-black, hard-shell tower.
Princess Shirahoshi, despite her enormous size, was timid as a mouse. She clearly heard the terrifying howling sound that was getting closer and closer outside.
A decade-long shadow instantly engulfed her.
Terrified, tears streamed down her face like a burst dam. She clutched the huge plush pillow tightly, shrinking her massive body as deep as possible into the corner of the room, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
"Help... Father... Someone please save me..."
It was as if I could hear her call.
Inside the tower, the previously peaceful space suddenly began to distort.
Viktor appeared out of thin air and hovered steadily in mid-air.
Facing the colossal object hurtling towards him with ferocious kinetic energy, Viktor's expression remained calm.
He slightly raised his head, and the pale purple Rinnegan in his right eye socket, which was covered with mysterious ripples, suddenly burst out with a dazzling light.
An overwhelming and terrifying repulsive force erupted outwards from him.
"Boom—Crack!"
It was accompanied by a deafening, earth-shattering collision.
The massive axe, powerful enough to shatter a solid city wall, seemed to have struck an indestructible wall of sighs the moment it collided with this invisible repulsive force, its momentum instantly halted in mid-air.
Then, under the relentless crushing force, the surface of the huge axe was covered with dense cracks.
It then crumbled inch by inch, turning into countless tiny iron filings, like a black metal rainstorm, which fell heavily into the seawater outside the hard-shell tower.
A deadly crisis was thus resolved in an instant with minimal effort.
Viktor slowly withdrew his hand that had released the repulsive force and turned around in mid-air.
The faint light inside the hard-shell tower gradually brightened, dispelling the darkness in the corners.
