One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

After yesterday's grand and unprecedented banquet, the entire Fishman Island was immersed in the joy of victory and peace.

The morning sunlight filtered through the enormous bubble shield, gently illuminating the magnificent Dragon Palace.

The guest room area was quiet at this moment, after days of intense battles and a night of revelry.

They were all still fast asleep in their respective rooms, sprawled out and snoring loudly.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle————"

With a deafening rumble of his stomach protesting, Luffy suddenly sat up abruptly from the soft bed.

Although he single-handedly ate a mountain of roasted meat at the banquet in the square yesterday.

But after a whole night of rapid digestion, the rubber captain's bottomless stomach sounded a loud alarm once again.

"I'm so hungry...meat...I want to eat meat..."

Luffy's eyes were half-open and half-closed, like a zombie that had lost its soul.

He rubbed his completely deflated belly, followed the foodie radar in his mind, and instinctively walked out of the guest room.

He wandered through the intricate corridors of the Dragon Palace like a traveler searching for an oasis in the desert, looking for prey to fill his stomach.

Driven by his obsession with food, Luffy unknowingly found himself at the "Royal Kitchen," a place he had visited the day before.

However, when he pushed open the kitchen door with high expectations, the scene before him greatly disappointed him.

The kitchen is now empty, and all the pots and pans are clean and neatly arranged on the shelves.

The mountain of top-grade sea creature ingredients and various staple foods that are usually plentiful were all consumed during last night's grand banquet.

After searching high and low in the huge kitchen to no avail, Luffy walked out dejectedly.

Just then, he happened to bump into the Right Minister who was taking stock of the remaining supplies in the corridor.

Upon seeing this high-ranking official from Ryugu Castle, Luffy's previously dull eyes instantly flashed with two beams of green light.

He lunged forward, grabbed the Right Minister's leg tightly, and threw his head back, howling loudly:

"Uncle! I'm so hungry! I'm starving!"

"Why is there nothing in the kitchen?"

"Do you have any meat? Any kind of meat will do!"

He was startled when the Right Minister suddenly grabbed his leg.

When he looked down and saw that the boy who was hugging him and shouting was the very same benefactor who had saved the entire Fishman Island and was treated as an honored guest by the king, he realized that the boy was the one who had saved the entire Fishman Island.

A fine layer of cold sweat immediately appeared on the Right Minister's forehead.

He was sweating profusely with anxiety.

The meat and various staple foods in the Dragon Palace were truly devoured by everyone during last night's revelry.

The palace's supply depots are now completely empty.

But we can't let the nation's number one hero run around in the Dragon Palace hungry, can we?

If word gets out, where will the Dragon Palace City's reputation be?!

The Right Minister, in a moment of inspiration, had a flash of genius in his mind.

He suddenly remembered the top-quality desserts that he had originally planned to offer as tribute to "BIG MOM," one of the Four Emperors of the New World!

As tributes to the Four Emperors, these desserts were not only numerous, but also made with the rarest and most expensive ingredients from the deep sea, making them truly presentable.

The Right Minister stroked his long beard, quickly calculating in his mind:

"Lord Straw Hat Luffy ate so much high-calorie barbecue at the banquet yesterday, his stomach must be pretty full."

"Moreover, pastries are very sweet and cloying, and they are extremely filling. A normal person will feel full after just a few bites."

"In that case, I'll send someone to secretly deliver a little something to him to fill his stomach."

Anyway, the envoys only do a rough inspection of the tribute; they wouldn't even notice if it was a few pounds or ounces less.

The Right Minister, who was pleased with his own cleverness, immediately put on a gentle smile.

He smiled and suggested to Luffy that he be treated to sweets made in the Ryugu Palace.

Upon hearing that there was food, and especially a specially made top-quality dessert, Luffy didn't care about anything else.

Upon hearing this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he laughed heartily, clapping his hands repeatedly to express his gratitude.

"That's great! As long as there's food, that's fine! You're such a kind person, sir!"

Having obtained the hero's permission, the Right Minister immediately took action.

Soon, escorted by guards, one cart after another of exquisite, ornately designed, and mouthwatering deep-sea desserts were continuously transported into the spacious and bright hall of the Dragon Palace.

Rich dark chocolate, tempting golden caramel pudding, a giant cream cake piled high with fresh fruit...

A wide variety of desserts were on display, and their aroma instantly filled the entire hall.

The Minister of the Right sat on an exquisite high chair to the side, holding a cup of steaming black tea.

He had been maintaining his elegant posture, smiling as he looked at Luffy.

However, just a second later, the elegant smile on his face froze completely.

Luffy, sitting amidst a pile of desserts, didn't use any utensils at all.

His hands moved through the air, creating afterimages that were too blurry to be seen with the naked eye.

He even skipped the cake-cutting step, burying his entire face in the giant cream cake that was bigger than him.

"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!"

One car... two cars... three cars...

Those exquisite desserts piled up like small mountains are rapidly disappearing at a terrifying rate visible to the naked eye.

The empty cart and the licked-clean packaging box were carelessly tossed aside.

Luffy was stuffing chocolate into his mouth like crazy while waving his hands and cheering loudly, his words barely audible:

"It's so delicious! So sweet!"

"This is so soft and delicious!"

"More! Uncle, I want more!"

"Clang—"

The exquisite teacup held by the Right Minister began to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing the horrifying scene before him, which resembled a black hole feeding, the Right Minister's pupils suddenly contracted.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a fatal mistake—

He actually tried to measure the stomach of a rubber man using the common sense and appetite of ordinary humans!

Just over ten minutes later.

In the vast Dragon Palace Hall, those tempting desserts from just moments ago had vanished without a trace.

A full ten tons!

That was a dessert that Fishman Island used to offer as tribute to the Four Emperors, "Big Mom," to save his life!

At this moment, not a single crumb remained; it was all stuffed into Luffy's stomach.

"thump--"

The Right Minister's legs buckled, and he collapsed heavily to his knees on the cold floor.

Tears and snot flowed out like a burst dam, covering that desperate old face.

"It's over! It's all over! It's really all over now!"

"That's an offering that must be submitted to Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, every month to ensure the safety of Fishman Island!"

"Lord Luffy! Hero! My ancestors!"

"Please stop eating! Just throw it up!"

"If we can't hand over the tribute, that madwoman will destroy Fishman Island, and we'll all be dead!"

However, the Right Minister stood by, wailing and lamenting, heartbroken.

Right in the center of that mountain of empty boxes, the culprit Luffy had now completely turned into a gigantic "flesh-colored balloon".

His originally thin body, now swollen like a giant hot air balloon from being filled with ten tons of desserts, was now bloated.

Its limbs became short, and it floated in mid-air without any foothold, only able to sway weakly on the ground with its round belly.

Luffy casually had a toothpick, which he had gotten from who-knows-where, dangling from his mouth.

He patted his round, huge belly with great satisfaction, a look of indescribable contentment on his face.

"belch----"

Luffy opened his mouth and let out a long, loud, and huge burp.

He licked the icing from the corner of his mouth, grinned, and praised the despairing Right Minister:

"I'm so full! Uncle, your desserts are amazing! They're the best I've ever had!"

"Da, da, da..."

Just as the atmosphere in the hall was sinking into despair.

A series of steady footsteps suddenly echoed down the red-carpeted corridor outside the hall.

at the same time.

King Neptune and his entourage, having just finished dealing with the Poneglyphs and the Queen's memorial service in the Sea Forest, were walking wearily down the corridor.

King Neptune let out a long sigh.

Recalling the series of thrilling events that had occurred in the past few days, he still felt a lingering fear from his tense nerves.

However, he thought again that fortunately, the country was ultimately saved with the help of the Straw Hat crew, and everything was moving in a positive direction.

"If I could just go back and see those energetic and carefree young people like the Straw Hat Pirates, and soak up their vitality, my tense nerves would probably relax a bit."

King Neptune comforted himself with this thought, and his originally heavy steps became lighter.

With this expectation, the old king walked to the front of the hall and stretched out his large palm.

"Squeak—"

King Neptune pushed open the heavy, ornate, carved door of the hall.

The doors were wide open, and bright light streamed into the hall.

What King Neptune saw was not the vibrant and beautiful scene he had imagined.

Instead, it was a mountain of empty offering boxes, a continuous pile of ruins.

The Right Minister was on the ground, pounding his chest, breaking down in tears, and weeping bitterly, with tears and snot streaming down his face.

And... in the center of the ruins, Straw Hat Luffy, transformed into a gigantic flesh-colored balloon, limbs dangling in the air, is still leisurely picking his teeth.

"..."

Looking at the scene before me, which resembled a disaster, I was struck by the sight.

King Neptune's anticipation and weariness froze instantly.
