One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

After the old woman's messenger slunk away with the treasure intended as compensation, he left in a sorry state.

Inside a spacious and luxurious guest room in the Dragon Palace, the entire Straw Hat crew sat together in a circle.

Because their simple-minded captain had just committed a colossal disaster that was enough to shock the world, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat eerie.

Nami, her face full of worry, rested her chin on her hand and sighed deeply as she sat in the chair.

Usopp and Chopper, on the other hand, looked like wilted eggplants, their eyes lifeless and their faces filled with disappointment and despair for the future.

Zoro sat cross-legged on the clean floor, holding a soft white cloth in his hand, carefully wiping his three swords.

He frowned and scanned the crowd present:

"Why is everyone so unmotivated?"

"Where's that red-eyed bastard? Where did he go at a time like this?"

Robin, sitting elegantly on the sofa, held a steaming cup of black tea. Hearing Zoro's question, she took a small sip and shook her head slightly.

"I haven't seen them since those middle-aged women left."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy, who had been sitting on the ground in a daze, suddenly slapped his thigh and raised his hand high.

He shouted with a look of certainty and excitement:

"I see!"

"Victor has definitely gone after those two messengers! He's definitely trying to get that treasure back!"

Luffy put his hands on his hips, shook his head seriously, and added:

"That idiot Viktor! He clearly told me not to chase after them!"

With a dull thud, Nami unleashed a furious punch, slamming it hard into Luffy's straw hat.

Luffy, who had just been looking confident, was suddenly hit so hard that half of his head was buried in the floor.

Nami, at this moment, seemed to have transformed into a demon with sharp fangs, roaring madly at the captain on the ground:

"You're the dumber one!! Who would do something so pointless!"

"Victor isn't as simple-minded as you!"

Then, Nami took a deep breath, helplessly rubbed her throbbing temples, and sighed:

"Well, he already knows what happened."

Nami slammed her hand on the table, her expression instantly turning serious:

"Forget about that troublemaker running around everywhere, let's officially call an emergency meeting for the Straw Hat crew!"

As Nami made her announcement, everyone in the room turned their attention to her.

Nami stood in the center of the room and recounted how Luffy, because of his gluttony, ate all ten tons of sweets meant as tribute.

And how he brazenly snatched the Den Den Mushi and officially declared war on "BIG MOM," one of the Four Emperors of the New World.

He told Zoro, Sanji, Franky, and the others, who were just catching up on sleep, exactly what had happened.

After hearing the whole story, the expressions of the group of people who had just woken up varied.

But before they could even process this bombshell news, Nami dropped an even more devastating bombshell:

"Not only that! Listen up, you idiot Luffy, to make up for all the sweets he ate, gave all the treasure that Ryugu Palace gave us to Big Mom's messenger!"

Nami's voice began to tremble, her eyes filled with terror:

"But just now... the Minister of the Right secretly came to tell me."

"Among that pile of treasure, there accidentally slipped in a national treasure of Fishman Island, the 'Jade Hand Box,' which would cause a massive explosion if opened!"

"In other words... we gave one of the Four Emperors a massive bomb as an apology!!!"

Upon hearing the words "the bomb is to be given to the Four Emperors," the room erupted in chaos.

Usopp and Chopper instantly broke down, hugging each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces as they wailed and sobbed.

"It's all over! It's all over! I'm really going to die this time!"

"The Four Emperors will definitely hunt us down to the ends of the earth!"

Brooke, seizing the opportune moment, picked up her violin and played a trembling, mournful melody, sighing in sync with the atmosphere:

"Ah...hearing this news really scared my heart to the point of stopping..."

"Although I'm just a skeleton and don't actually have a heart, hehehehe!"

Zoro slowly stopped wiping his sword and sheathed Wado Ichimonji.

His eyes showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a fanatical fighting spirit ignited within them, and a sharp, cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"The Four Emperors? That sounds like a pretty good warm-up for the New World."

Sanji leaned quietly against the wall, slowly exhaling a swirling smoke ring.

This time, he unusually refrained from arguing with Zoro's arrogant remarks. His eyes, hidden by his blond hair, were slightly lowered, as if he were deep in thought.

Franky, meanwhile, suddenly clasped his arms together, striking his classic, grotesque pose, and shouted passionately:

"Don't worry! The Sunny has already been coated, and all mechanical equipment is SUPER—ready to go!"

"Ready to handle any storm!"

Robin glanced at her companions' varied reactions and chuckled softly, covering her red lips.

Then, in the gentlest tone, she spoke the cruelest reality:

"It seems that before we even officially stepped into the waters of the New World, we had already been put on the kill list by the true overlord of the New World."

"We may encounter unimaginable and terrifying retaliation on the journey ahead, so please be mentally prepared."

"Big Mom's influence extends throughout the New World: her intelligence network, her pirate crews, and her overwhelming personal power..."

"These will all become obstacles on our path forward."

At that moment, Luffy finally pulled his head out of the cracked floor.

He rubbed the huge, steaming bump on his head as he sat cross-legged, oblivious to everything around him.

His dark eyes shone with an incomparably pure light. He adjusted his straw hat and grinned, saying:

"Who cares!"

"Whether it's an old lady or anyone else, if they dare to block our way in the sea, just beat them all to a pulp!"

"A new world, I've been looking forward to it for so long!"

"Hehehehe!"

Looking into Luffy's fearless eyes, the tension and unease that had filled the room instantly dissipated.

Everyone smiled at each other, and even Usopp and Chopper, who were still crying, wiped away their tears.

All the fear and worry transformed into a strong anticipation for that unknown adventure at that moment.

Nami looked at her troublesome companions and couldn't help but smile.

"Alright! Since the captain has spoken, let's rest for the night."

"Tomorrow morning, we'll set sail immediately, leaving Fishman Island and heading towards the New World!"

"oh--!!!"

Amidst cheers from the crowd, this emergency meeting concerning the future fate of the Straw Hat Pirates came to a successful conclusion.

Everyone dispersed and returned to their rooms to rest, preparing to recharge in the safe Dragon Palace City in preparation for tomorrow's new voyage filled with unknowns and dangers.

As night deepened, the Dragon Palace, located 10,000 meters below the surface of the ocean, gradually quieted down.

The lights in each guest room went out one by one, and all the noise seemed to return to calm, with only the faint sound of the ocean current echoing around.

However, within this tranquility, astonishingly exaggerated noises continue to occur inside that incredibly sturdy, massive, hard-shelled tower.

The huge and sturdy luxury bed continued to vibrate violently, emitting blush-inducing swaying sounds and uncontrollable moans.

The sounds intertwined, echoing within the empty, hard-shelled tower like an ever-flowing ocean.

Megalo, the pet shark who was hiding in a shell in the corner, was completely driven to a nervous breakdown by the earth-shaking noise.

It could no longer bear it and poked its head out of the shell, giving the bed a resentful look.

Then, it simply wagged its tail and ran out of the hard-shelled tower without looking back, seeking a quiet place to rest outside.

The dark, deep night on the seabed seemed to be ignited by the tireless fervor within the tower, and the fervor could not be quelled for a long time...
