One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

The next morning.

Warm sunlight pierced through the giant bubble enveloping the Dragon Palace and quietly streamed into this luxurious and spacious guest room.

Viktor slowly awoke from his blissful state.

He turned his head and looked at the two people sleeping peacefully beside him, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Miss Navigator had a very tiring night, and she's sleeping soundly now.

Victor didn't wake Nami, but instead went over to wake Robin on the other side.

On a beautiful morning, the two naturally engaged in some intimate interactions.

Robin was awakened by warm breath, and her eyes, as clear as autumn water, held a hint of languor.

She stretched out her fair arm with displeasure, gently hooked it around Viktor's neck, and coquettishly told him not to move.

In the tranquil warmth of this early morning, Viktor thoroughly enjoyed the gentle treatment unique to a mature older sister.

After some playful fighting, Victor put his arm around Robin, who was slightly out of breath and with flushed cheeks, and gently asked her if she wanted to go to the legendary "Sea Forest" together later.

It's not just a sacred place on Fishman Island.

It also buries many unknown aspects of this country's past, perhaps containing the "history" she has always been searching for.

Upon hearing the word "history," Robin, an archaeologist, immediately brightened up.

She immediately nodded in agreement, left the warm embrace without hesitation, and quickly got up to straighten her somewhat disheveled purple clothes.

Before long, the two were dressed.

As soon as Victor pushed open the heavy door of the guest room, he saw the end of the corridor not far away.

The enormous and beautiful pink figure was swimming anxiously back and forth, its huge tail drawing arcs in the air.

The moment Shirahoshi saw Viktor emerge, she abruptly stopped moving.

Two alluring blushes instantly spread across her stunningly beautiful face as she swam rapidly toward Victor.

She took a deep breath, her huge hands nervously intertwined, her two index fingers constantly poking at each other.

He stammered out the invitation that he hadn't been able to make up in the square the night before:

"Um... Lord Victor..."

"Today...would you like to accompany Shirahoshi to the Sea Forest?"

Looking at the mermaid princess who had mustered all her courage, Victor smiled and nodded, readily agreeing.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Shirahoshi immediately revealed a stunning smile.

But then, Victor turned to the side and pointed to Robin beside him.

He chuckled and asked the princess if she could bring the historian with her, who was quite knowledgeable about history, along.

Shirahoshi looked at Victor and Robin standing together, their intimacy and tacit understanding obvious to anyone, and unconsciously pouted her rosy lips slightly.

She had originally been eager to spend time alone with Lord Victor.

At that moment, a strange mix of bitterness and unease welled up in her heart.

But being kind-hearted by nature, she forced a smile and obediently nodded in agreement.

Robin, who had been standing to the side, naturally took in every subtle micro-expression on Shirahoshi's face.

She raised an eyebrow imperceptibly, secretly amused.

It seems that this mermaid princess, who has always been confined in the hard-shelled tower and is completely ignorant of the world, has developed some unusual adolescent feelings for Victor.

This clearly misinterprets the sense of security Viktor provides in dire circumstances as romantic love between a man and a woman.

But Robin looked up and sized up Shirahoshi's exaggeratedly large body, which resembled a pink mountain.

Then he turned his head and looked at the tall Victor beside him.

Compared to Shirahoshi's enormous body, Viktor was only the size of one of her fingers!

Robin chuckled inwardly: This is simply impossible!

This enormous size difference, which defies the common sense of physics, is simply insurmountable.

With that thought, Robin was completely relieved.

She decided that after the Straw Hat crew completed their adventure and left Fishman Island...

As time goes by, the princess's illusion will naturally return to normal.

...........

Victor accompanied Shirahoshi, and with Robin by their side, the group traversed the beautiful coral reefs and arrived at the sacred place deep within Fishman Island—the "Sea Forest".

This is a tranquil and solemn sea area, where beautiful coral trees are scattered in a well-organized manner on the seabed.

It is also a vast ship graveyard, burying countless sunken ships, and resting in peace for Queen Otohime, who sacrificed her life for peace.

Here, they happened to encounter Jinbe, the knight-errant, and King Neptune, who were standing solemnly guarding the tomb.

King Jinbe is having a headache trying to decipher an ancient stone tablet deep in the forest.

Just then, they met Robin. Knowing the Ohara orphan's knowledge, they immediately invited her with great hope to help decipher the inscription.

Upon hearing that it might be a historical text, Robin's intellectual and elegant face immediately lit up with an excited and expectant expression.

She gave Victor a look, and without hesitation followed them into the depths of the Sea Forest to explore.

As these "obstacles" people gradually left,

A surge of inexplicable and intense joy welled up in Bai Xing's heart.

She finally got her wish and, in this quiet sanctuary, came alone with Lord Victor to the Queen's tomb.

Bai Xing's smile faded, and her expression became solemn.

She clasped her hands together, placed them reverently on her full chest, closed her beautiful eyes, and began to pay homage to her mother, whom she missed day and night.

Her lips moved slightly, as if she were whispering some girlish secret to her mother.

Halfway through her prayer, she secretly opened one eye and glanced furtively at Victor, who was standing quietly beside her.

Realizing that the other person wasn't paying attention to her, she immediately closed her eyes and continued speaking in a low voice.

This time, however, her gentle voice carried a distinct joy and sweetness that no one could conceal.

Victor stood to the side, hands in his pockets.

He felt it was somewhat impolite of him to just stand there and watch the young girl perform the ritual.

To show his respect for the princess, he bent down and picked up a beautifully patterned seashell from the sand beside him.

He stepped forward, gently placed the seashell in front of the tombstone, clasped his hands together, and pretended to whisper a few words of blessing and peace in his heart.

Just as Viktor finished reciting and was about to straighten up...

His gaze suddenly fell upon something glowing in the crevices of the coral next to the tombstone.

He looked closer and saw that there was a very beautiful, large pink gemstone stuck there, emitting a soft glow.

Viktor raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes:

"Um?

"Such a large gemstone?"

"And this crystal-clear color..."

"If you sell it, it should be worth quite a bit of money."

Out of curiosity, he reached out and pried it out of the gap, then held it in his hand and examined it carefully.

Bai Xing just finished speaking at that moment.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Victor holding a huge, radiant pink gem in his hand and examining it. She asked him with great curiosity what it was.

Viktor casually fiddled with the gem in his hand, explaining that he had just found it by chance in front of his mother's gravestone.

However, upon hearing the words "found at the mother's gravestone,"...

Bai Xing's cheeks instantly turned as luscious as a ripe red apple.

She blinked her huge eyes, staring blankly at the pink gem in Victor's hand.

A frenzied scream and wildly imaginative thoughts began to surge within Bai Xing's mind:

Could it be...?

"Was it my mother's spirit in heaven who heard my prayer just now?!"

"Is this gem a sign of my mother's approval and blessing?!"

"Thank you, Mother!"

"Shirahoshi will definitely be happy!"

With the powerful support of her imagination, Bai Xing took a deep breath, and the timid girl suddenly mustered the greatest courage she had ever had.

Her face flushed, her eyes filled with anticipation, and she whispered to Viktor:

"Lord Victor..."

"Could you...give...that gem...to...me?"

Viktor looked at Shirahoshi's expectant eyes, completely failing to grasp the complex and romantic thoughts swirling within this lovestruck young woman.

He simply felt that since these items belonged to someone else's mother's grave, it was only right to return them to their rightful owner.

Moreover, he himself did not have a strong desire for these worldly jewelry pieces.

So, with a slight twitch of his fingertips, he casually controlled a faint gravitational force, gently lifting the shimmering pink gem and letting it float steadily into Bai Xing's outstretched, enormous palm.

Shirahoshi held the gem in both hands, her heart filled with joy.

She gazed at it with tender eyes, as if holding the most precious and priceless treasure in the world.

Then, under Victor's slightly questioning gaze, she quietly reached out her other hand and carefully placed the gem on her ring finger.

She carefully compared the size of the gemstone to her finger, as if trying on a sacred token of love.

At this moment, the mermaid princess had a smile on her lips that was sweeter than the sunshine.
