One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

On the vast ocean, a small wooden boat, which seemed particularly tiny at the moment, was rising and falling with the waves.

This ship was, of course, "borrowed" from the Alvida Pirates.

As for why the Alvida Pirates didn't catch up?

It was probably because their captain was still hanging from the mast, foaming at the mouth.

The terrifying red-eyed boy merely glanced back, and everyone on the ship was so frightened that they shrank back below deck.

"Great! We're finally out to sea!"

Luffy sat at the bow of the ship, showing no awareness of his role as captain, and instead excitedly shouted into the sea breeze.

"This is what adventure feels like!"

Koby, who was sitting in the middle rowing the boat—though he didn't know why he had become a laborer—was looking ahead with a look of utter despair.

"Mr. Luffy... is it really okay for us to just take the pirates' lifeboat like this?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Luffy waved his hand dismissively. "They don't need it anyway!"

Victor, sitting at the stern, was leisurely leaning against the gunwale, playing with a kunai in his hand.

While Luffy was shouting and yelling, Victor had a sudden thought and activated the system interface deep in his mind.

"System, calculate battle rewards."

In an instant, a pale blue, semi-transparent light curtain, visible only to him, unfolded before his eyes.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the hidden achievement quest – "The First Battle Before Setting Sail"!]

[Defeat target: Alvida the Iron Rod (bounty: 500 million Berries).]

[Battle Rating: S.]

[Reward received: 500 Ninja Points.]

"500 points...?"

Viktor looked at the number and thoughtfully stroked his chin.

According to the system's description, the [Ninja Way Value] is the only circulating currency in this system.

The acquisition methods are simple and straightforward: defeat powerful enemies, change major plot points in the original work, or create a world-shaking scene on the high seas.

The stronger the opponent, the higher the bounty, and the higher the rating and points you get.

Although Alvida is somewhat famous in the East Blue, she is not even worth mentioning in the entire world of One Piece.

The 500 points were probably given out of consideration for the "first battle".

"Open the redemption shop."

As Viktor's thoughts raced, the screen changed, and a dazzling list appeared before him.

This is the feature of the "Naruto System" that he is most envious of.

The shop is divided into several categories: [Ninjutsu], [Taijutsu], [Genjutsu], [Kekkei Genkai], and [Ninja Tools].

Viktor glanced casually at the "Luxury Goods Section" at the top and immediately felt a toothache.

【Rinnegan (single)】: Price: 10,000,000 Ninja Points.

【Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan (Both Eyes)】: Price: 5,000,000 Ninja Points.

"Ten million..." Viktor's lips twitched. "How long would that take to save up?"

He shook his head, decisively closed those advanced pages that only instilled "poverty anxiety," and turned his attention to the [Basic Zone]**.

He now possesses a single-tomoe Sharingan, and his attack methods are relatively limited, consisting mainly of basic taijutsu and kunai.

His gaze lingered on several options:

[Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique]: C-rank ninjutsu. Exchange price: 300 points.

[Substitution Jutsu]: Rank E Ninjutsu. Exchange Price: 200 points.

[Shadow Clone Technique]: Rank B Ninjutsu. Exchange Price: 1000 points.

【Illusion Technique: Naraku's Sight】: D-rank ninjutsu. Exchange price: 400 points.

Viktor looked at his remaining 500 points and weighed his options briefly.

Ultimately, his gaze settled on the [Illusion Technique: Naraku's Sight].

"People in the pirate world generally have low magic resistance and almost no means of defense against mental attacks. Moreover..."

"How can a magician not know hypnosis?"

"I'll exchange for the Fireball Jutsu next time. It's the standard weapon of the Uchiha clan, although it never seems to kill anyone in Naruto..."

"System, exchange for [Illusion Technique: Naraku's Appearance Technique]!"

[Ding! 400 Ninja Points deducted. Exchange successful! The relevant hand seals and chakra flow methods have been injected into the host's memory.]

A refreshing stream of information flooded my mind.

Viktor closed his eyes to process the information for a moment, and when he opened them again, a deeper, more profound look seemed to appear in the depths of his dark pupils.

Before he could even think about it, Luffy's voice brought him back to his senses.

"Hey, Victor!" Luffy suddenly turned around and said with a serious expression.

"Now that you're on my ship, you're my first partner!"

"I'm going to be the Pirate King! As the first mate, you'd better work hard!"

"Pfft—cough cough cough!"

Koby, who was rowing, almost choked on his own saliva and was so frightened that he dropped the oar.

He jumped to his feet, his eyes wide as saucers, staring at Luffy in terror:

"One Piece?! Mr. Luffy, are you kidding me?!"

"That's a great pirate who possesses all the wealth, fame, and power in the world!"

"To become the Pirate King, you have to find the legendary ONE PIECE on this sea full of monsters!"

"How could something like this... possibly be possible! Absolutely impossible! Impossible, impossible!!"

"Bang!"

Luffy punched Coby on the head without hesitation.

"Ouch!" Koby clutched his head and crouched down.

"Why did you hit me...?"

"Because you're noisy." Luffy picked his nose, but his eyes were unusually firm.

"It's not a question of whether it's possible or not. It's because I want to be one that I'm doing it. I don't care if I die for it."

Koby was stunned.

Viktor reluctantly retrieved the oar and tossed it to Kobe.

"A very impressive declaration. But my captain, if you want to become the Pirate King, you can't do it by begging... no, we can't do it by ourselves alone."

"That's right!" Luffy immediately perked up and started counting on his fingers.

"We also need a navigator, a cook, a musician... Let me think, how about that 'pirate hunter' thing?"

"Zoro...Zoro?!"

Upon hearing this name, Koby's face turned deathly pale.

"Mr. Luffy, you're looking for Roronoa Zoro as your crewmate? That guy known as 'the monster in human skin'?"

"I heard he's a ruthless killer! He's currently being held captive at the naval base up ahead!"

"Got caught?" Luffy said nonchalantly. "That's good. If he's a decent guy, I'll let him join!"

"Not bad... They say it's a Warcraft, after all!"

Just as Coby was still muttering and breaking down, Luffy's attention suddenly shifted.

He turned his head, his large, curious eyes staring intently at Viktor, as if he had suddenly remembered something important.

"Hey! Viktor!"

Luffy moved closer, almost touching Viktor's face.

"You said you were a magician, right? That red eye is cool, but I want to see something more interesting! Show me one! Now!"

Viktor looked at Luffy's starry eyes and raised an eyebrow helplessly.

"Want to see magic?" Victor's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"Alright, since you're the captain, I'll show you a really difficult one."

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Luffy immediately sat up straight, and even Coby, who was rowing the boat, couldn't help but secretly glance over.

That magic trick that instantly killed a powerful pirate must be incredibly amazing, right?

Did the flames appear out of thin air? Or did they vanish instantly?

Under the expectant gazes of the two, Victor slowly extended his right index finger and held it up in front of Luffy.

"Look closely, Luffy. This is a finger, right?"

"Mmm-hmm!" Luffy nodded vigorously.

"Now, don't blink, this is the moment to witness a miracle."

Viktor took a deep breath, and then—

Start shaking that index finger rapidly from side to side.

The frequency was so fast and the shaking so violent that it even created a faint afterimage.

"Look! Change!" Victor solemnly held up two fingers.

"yeah!"

He stopped what he was doing and looked at Luffy calmly.

The scene was silent for a full three seconds.

"Wow!!!"

Luffy let out an unprecedented scream, clutching his head with both hands, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"It's become two!! That's amazing!! It was just one a moment ago! How did you do that?! Viktor, are you a god?!"

Koby, standing to the side: "..."

Koby's expression changed from anticipation to blankness, and finally to deep speechlessness.

He clutched his head in anguish, feeling as if his future was shrouded in darkness.

"What kind of magic trick is that! It's just extending one finger; anyone can do that!"

Coby mentally ranted, his gaze toward Luffy filled with suspicion.

Mr. Luffy... is he really not an idiot? He actually believes this kind of trick that's only for three-year-olds?

Victor seemed to enjoy it, and he patted Luffy on the shoulder.

"This is the essence of magic, Captain. You'll understand later: in this world, seeing is not always believing."

In this atmosphere filled with "wisdom," the distant fog gradually dissipated.

The outline of a huge island appears on the sea surface.

In the center of the island, a towering fortress-like building stands out, with the huge "MARINE" lettering gleaming in the sunlight.

"Mr. Luffy, Mr. Victor!"

"Seltz Town, the 153rd Naval Division has arrived!"
