One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

On the dark and winding passage leading to the SAD manufacturing room deep underground.

As a Marine Captain, Tashigi finally truly understood the despair that the Straw Hat Pirates endured on a daily basis.

Even though she, as the guide, was running at the very front of the group, she would occasionally turn back to check on the situation.

Even this directionally challenged, green-haired creature can effortlessly veer into a completely blocked dead end at the next predictable, simple fork in the road.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

Tashigi stomped her feet in anger, frantically rubbing her short hair with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I've been leading the way and making sure you follow me!"

"Why would you run in the opposite direction when there's only one straight path?!"

Faced with Tashigi's breakdown and roar, Zoro rubbed his forehead and loudly argued back with a defiant look on his face:

"Stop arguing! It's clearly a structural problem with this building!"

"Who would design a corridor so inhumanely? There aren't even any clear signs!"

Amidst this chaotic atmosphere, the two stumbled and ran frantically toward their destination.

……

Meanwhile, at the SAD manufacturing plant.

The air here is thick with the pungent smell of blood and chemicals.

Lieutenant General Smoker's tall body lay completely in a cold pool of blood, his ten hands broken to the side.

He suffered multiple fractures throughout his body and was so weak that he couldn't even move a finger, completely losing his ability to fight.

Luo, who was not far away, was in no better shape.

Because that beating heart was firmly held in the enemy's hands.

He could only kneel on the ground in agony, panting heavily, utterly powerless to launch any counterattack.

Vergo, like an invincible black demon, coldly and mercilessly looked down at Smoker lying at his feet.

He slowly raised the black bamboo stick in his hand, gathering his strength to its peak, preparing to smash the head of his former colleague.

"It's over. Farewell, disgrace to G-5." Vergo's voice was icy as he swung his arm down sharply.

"boom--!!!"

At that critical moment, the heavy steel door of the SAD manufacturing room was suddenly shattered from the outside by a violent and unparalleled flying slash!

The violent sword energy, like a wild horse unleashed, swept through the shattered metal debris and roared in.

Vergo's eyes narrowed, and he was forced to abandon his fatal blow to Smoker, quickly returning to defense.

He gripped the black bamboo stick with both hands and held it horizontally in front of his chest, steadily blocking the fierce slash.

However, due to the enormous impact, his body still involuntarily slid back half a step.

Amidst billowing smoke and the grating sounds of metal scraping together, Zoro, gripping his unsheathed Wado Ichimonji in one hand, followed by the panting Tashigi behind him, slowly walked into the bloody battlefield.

Zoro's sharp single eye scanned the room.

He saw Smoker, who was beaten to a pulp, and Law, who was kneeling on the ground clutching his chest.

However, they did not see their own captain, who was wearing a straw hat.

Zoro slowly stopped and glanced sideways at Tashigi, who was standing next to him with her head down, looking guilty and not daring to look at him.

He curled his lip and let out a disdainful snort:

"Tch... Female Navy officer, you've got guts, daring to even lie to me."

Zoro slung his sword over his shoulder, his tone revealing absolute trust and pride in Luffy:

"I knew it. My captain isn't so weak that he could be easily defeated by some random black guy."

When her lie was exposed, Tashigi blushed deeply with shame, even her ears turned bright red.

She bent down abruptly and apologized loudly:

"I'm sorry! It was wrong of me to lie to you!"

"But... but please, you must save Lieutenant General Smoker! Only you can deal with him now!"

Standing opposite him, Vergo expressionlessly extended a finger and pushed up the half-broken sunglasses on his face.

He glanced coldly at the swordsman who had suddenly barged in, his tone filled with undisguised contempt:

"The Straw Hat Pirates' 'Pirate Hunter' Roronoa Zoro... Hmph, so what if he's a rising star with a bounty over 100 million?"

"You think you can cut through my Armament Haki, honed through countless trials, with those few pieces of junk you have?"

Having said that, Vergo let out a deafening roar.

His muscles swelled instantly, and his deep, dark Armament Haki surged out like gushing ink, covering every inch of his skin without leaving any blind spots!

Faced with this Armament Haki that is touted as "perfect and absolutely defensive".

Zoro not only did not back down in the slightest, but instead let out a disdainful sneer.

He slowly raised his hand, untied the dark green headscarf tied to his left arm, and solemnly tied it tightly to his head.

Then, he bit the famous sword Wado Ichimonji horizontally in his mouth, and gripped the hilts of Kitetsu and Yubashiri with both hands.

"Buzz—!"

As Zoro's aura surged, a dense purple demonic aura instantly enveloped the three famous swords.

Immediately afterwards, powerful Armament Haki surged forth like waves, transforming the blades of the three swords into black blades radiating an aura of destruction.

Zoro lowered his body slightly, and a chilling killing intent, like that of a demon, erupted from his single eye:

"Perfect Armament Haki? Don't make me laugh."

"Listen up, there's nothing in this world that Roronoa Zoro can't cut!"

The moment the words left their mouths, the two of them, like two raging wild beasts, collided violently in the center of the spacious manufacturing room!

"Clang—Boom!"

The violent collision between "Black Bamboo" and "Black Knife" triggered a terrifying circular shockwave visible to the naked eye.

A violent gust of air swept across the entire area in an instant. Even the huge, sturdy SAD storage tanks around it began to tremble violently in the aftershocks of the astonishing collision, emitting metallic groans as they were unable to bear the strain.

Vergo originally thought he could completely suppress the young swordsman in terms of strength and defense by relying on his proud Armament Haki.

However, at the moment the weapons clashed, an undisguised shock appeared on his cold and hard face.

He was horrified to discover that the terrifying strength emanating from Zoro's arms, as well as the Armament Haki clinging to his blade, was in no way inferior to that of him, a veteran Marine who had fought countless battles.

What terrified him even more was that Zoro's unleashed, incredibly sharp sword energy was shattering his absolute defense!

In a fierce struggle filled with sparks, the two briefly separated before quickly closing in again.

Zoro's beast-like intuition instantly seized the fleeting opening in Vergo's attack transition.

His eyes turned as cold and ruthless as a true Asura's at that moment, and his ghostly aura erupted completely:

"Three-Sword Style: Hellfire Demon Slash!"

Three jet-black blades, like claws of demons reaching out from purgatory, slashed down in a bizarre and domineering trajectory.

The terrifying power left three long-lasting black cracks in the air.

"laugh--!"

Blood splattered.

This unstoppable attack tore a deep, gruesome gash through Vergo's proud Armament Haki defenses, leaving a gaping wound that revealed the bone.

At the same time, the aftershocks of that domineering and violent sword energy traveled along the black bamboo, directly numbing Vergo's wrist, which was tightly gripping his weapon.

Overwhelmed by the sudden, severe pain, Vergo loosened his grip.

The transparent heart box that he had been holding in his hand suddenly flew out of his hand, tracing a parabolic arc in mid-air.

Luo, who had been enduring excruciating pain while watching the battle, suddenly sharpened his deathly pale eyes the moment he saw the heart box fly out.

He lunged forward, his trembling hands reaching out to catch the heart box firmly in his palms before it hit the ground.

Without any hesitation, Law activated his ability and instantly stuffed the beating heart back into his chest cavity.

"Knock knock! Knock knock!"

The long-lost, complete heartbeat resonated powerfully within my chest.

The moment my heart returned to its normal position, that feeling of weakness, worse than death, vanished completely.

Luo took a deep breath of the blood-smelling air, and his deep eyes instantly erupted with a murderous intent and fanaticism like a volcanic eruption.

He slowly stood up from the ground.

He reached out and picked up the nodachi "Onikiri" that had fallen beside him. The blade was half an inch out of its sheath, its cold light flashing.

Seeing this, Zoro, who was standing to the side, swiftly withdrew his sword from its attack stance.

"It seems you have a long-standing personal grudge to settle personally."

"In that case, I won't steal your prey here."

Luo didn't turn around, but simply gripped the hilt of the knife with one hand and suddenly opened his other hand in front of him.

"ROOM!"

With a deep, cold shout, an unprecedented and extremely large hemispherical space instantly opened up.

This enormous "operating room" not only completely encloses the entire vast SAD manufacturing facility.

It even broke through the barrier of the wall, and together with the towering central mountain of Punk Hazard, it was enveloped in this dark blue rule space!

Sensing this strange power that enveloped the heavens and earth, Vergo's expression changed drastically, and a bead of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

But he still refused to admit defeat. He roared, gripped the black bamboo tightly again, and pounced on Luo like a mad bear:

"Don't waste your energy! It's useless!"

"My honed and refined aura can withstand any strike in the world!"

Luo gripped the long, slender sword "Ghost Cry" tightly with both hands, coldly watching Vergo charge towards him like a trapped beast.

"You remnants of the old era, all you do is sit there high and mighty, arrogantly measuring the power of others..."

Luo's eyes sharpened to their peak at that moment, filled with murderous intent:

"Did you hear that, Vergo? The gears of the new era..."

"...It's been completely destroyed by us!!"

The moment he finished speaking, Luo drew his sword.

A dazzling blue-white sword light, carrying an unstoppable force of rules, flashed across the vast "ROOM" space.

Everything seemed to freeze at that moment.

The next second, Vergo, who was known for his perfect defense, appeared.

The surrounding area contained indestructible SAD storage tanks filled with dangerous materials.

Even the towering, massive central mountain range of the entire Punk Hazard island...

At that moment, they were all cleanly and smoothly severed in half by Luo's blade!
