One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

In the center of a pile of ordinary, round fruits, in the wooden fruit basket holding cantaloupes, lies a strangely shaped fruit.

Its surface is covered with spiral patterns resembling devil horns.

Robin stood gracefully in front of the fruit basket, wearing a light, dark purple coat.

She rested her smooth chin on her hand, and said softly, as if lost in thought:

"These peculiar spiral patterns, and these unique colors..."

"Could this be Caesar's Devil Fruit?"

Upon hearing this, Usopp and Chopper, who had been peeking out from behind, jumped up in fright, like cats whose tails had been stepped on.

The two hugged each other tightly, their legs shaking violently as if they were powered by motors, and hot tears streamed down their faces like a waterfall.

"Aaaaaah! Caesar's ghost has followed us aboard!"

The two screamed like pigs being slaughtered and frantically rummaged through their bags.

In the blink of an eye, Usopp was holding up two heads of garlic, while Chopper had hastily tied two sticks together to form a makeshift cross.

The two trembled, holding the garlic and cross as if facing a formidable enemy, intently aiming them at the purple Devil Fruit, while chanting incantations to exorcise the evil spirit.

Nami was also startled by this sudden and bizarre situation.

She exclaimed in surprise and quickly took long strides, expertly hiding behind Robin's reassuring back.

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Viktor, standing at the back of the crowd, shook his head helplessly.

With a gentle smile on his face, he strode through the crowd.

Amidst the gasps of the group, Victor casually reached out and snatched the Gas Fruit, which everyone wanted to avoid, even tossing it in the air with nonchalant air.

"Don't be nervous, everyone calm down."

Victor chuckled reassuringly, "There are no ghosts in this world, let alone ghosts attached to fruit."

"This is just a natural cycle of Devil Fruits."

"When a Devil Fruit user dies, the Devil power within him will leave the host and be reborn."

Viktor toyed with the heavy fruit in his hand, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes:

"Since there was so much fruit in the storage room, it naturally 'reborn' here."

"It seems our Straw Hat Pirates are really lucky."

Luo, standing to the side, was leaning against the bulkhead with his arms crossed.

Hearing Viktor's nonchalant explanation, he remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he felt a silent shock.

He thought to himself: This is not just good, the Straw Hat crew's incredible luck is just too exaggerated!

You just took down a troublesome Logia-type Devil Fruit user, and the next second their Devil Fruit has automatically respawned in your ship's fruit basket?!

The probability of this is even more outrageous than being struck by lightning twice!

Luo cleared his throat and spoke with a serious expression:

"Straw Hat Master, you'd better know the value of this thing."

"This is a Logia-type Devil Fruit, which is extremely rare even among all fruits."

"If it were auctioned on the black market, it would definitely fetch an astronomical price as a rare treasure."

Rodon paused, his gaze sweeping over the Straw Hat crew: "Even if you don't intend to sell it."

"Once one of you consumes it, you will gain the elemental ability of the natural type, which grants immunity to ordinary physical attacks."

"It can definitely greatly improve the overall combat strength of your entire regiment in a very short time."

Hearing Law's earnest explanation, Luffy curiously came closer.

He crouched down, extended a finger, and forcefully poked the purple fruit in Viktor's hand.

Feeling that somewhat strange sensation.

The terrifying taste, like eating excrement, instantly flashed through Luffy's mind when he ate the Gum-Gum Fruit.

He frowned in disgust and pursed his lips:

"No, no! This stuff is absolutely awful; one bite and it'll give you nightmares for three days straight."

"But it's more valuable to keep it; does anyone want to eat it?"

Now that the captain had spoken, everyone began to look at their companions and ponder who should own this Logia-type Devil Fruit that had fallen from the sky.

Currently, the Straw Hat crew members who haven't eaten a Devil Fruit and still can swim freely in the sea are:

Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, and Franky.

Zoro crossed his arms, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

He turned his head slightly, looking Sanji up and down with a provocative gaze, and said sarcastically:

"Since that's the case, then let's just let this eyebrow-wearing chef eat it."

"Since you're in the kitchen all day anyway, if you become a gas person, you won't even need a lighter to start a fire and cook, which will definitely be more convenient, right?"

Upon hearing this highly insulting joke, Sanji's previously calm face instantly turned black with displeasure.

"What did you say?! You muscle-bound green algae head, do you want to fight?!"

Sanji roared and raised his long right leg without hesitation, delivering a powerful flying kick straight at Zoro's face with a whistling sound.

"In my opinion, your strength was so weak in the battle just now, you might as well eat this fruit!"

Sanji launched a fierce attack while relentlessly retaliating.

"So that your third-rate swordsmanship won't hold our entire group back in this monster-filled new world!"

"Huh?! You want to fight, you lecherous, round-eyebrowed brat!"

Zoro did not back down in the face of Sanji's flying kick.

He sneered, gripped the hilt of the Wado Ichimonji sword at his waist with one hand, and suddenly pulled out half of the gleaming blade, glaring fiercely at his mortal enemy.

Amidst the flashing blades and clashing legs, the two, as always, engaged in a practiced and perfectly coordinated "affectionate" wrestling match.

Suddenly, the storage room erupted with the sounds of ping-pong balls being played and people hurling insults at each other.

The Straw Hat crew had long been used to the two of them bickering so often that they felt uncomfortable if they didn't fight at least three times a day.

No one was in the mood to mediate the fight. They silently and tacitly shifted their attention away from the two naive fighters and continued to discuss who should get the prize.

Franky immediately became excited when he noticed that everyone's attention had turned to him.

He suddenly clasped his arms together, striking his signature super move, and shouted with a face full of pride:

"SUPER—! Don't look at me, everyone!"

"I'm a cyborg brimming with masculine romance!"

"I'm a product of cutting-edge technology! I don't want to become some kind of light, limp gas person, that's not SUPER at all!"

Seeing Franky refuse, everyone's eyes naturally fell on Nami.

Upon seeing this, Nami waved her hands repeatedly in refusal.

She casually picked up the special thundercloud pet/weapon "Forto" that had been obediently wrapped around her waist, and said with righteous indignation and confidence:

"Hehe, everyone, don't get any ideas about me!"

"I already have Futo helping me in this battle, and its power is no less than any Devil Fruit! Besides..."

Nami straightened her back and, adopting the professional attitude of a navigator, added:

"As the only navigator on this ship, I must be constantly aware of changes in the ocean currents and wind direction."

"To be utterly despised by the sea for such a small amount of power, becoming a landlubber who can only wait to die if he falls into the water—that's absolutely unacceptable!"

After listening, everyone nodded thoughtfully, indicating that they fully agreed with the navigator's concerns.

And so, after a round of elimination.

All eyes finally and unanimously fell on the last candidate—Usopp.

Suddenly becoming the center of attention, Usopp couldn't help but swallow hard.

Noticing the expectant gazes of the crowd, he was immediately caught in a fierce internal struggle.

To be honest, how could this timid and cowardly sniper not be tempted by the legendary invincible natural power?

Once he eats it, he will instantly gain the ability to transform into an element, and he will no longer have to desperately run away when he encounters a powerful enemy.

but!

Usopp felt a wave of nausea just thinking about the inhumane experiments his original owner had conducted with poison gas.

In order to preserve his dignity as a "brave sea warrior".

He opened his mouth, wanting to loudly and righteously reject this evil force.

Just as Usopp was struggling with his inner turmoil

Victor chuckled and considerately tossed the Gas-Gas Fruit to Usopp like a ball, casually defusing the situation:

"Well, since no one wants to eat it right now, let's just put it away for now."

"In any case, Logia-type Devil Fruits are extremely precious and scarce resources. We have a long voyage ahead of us, and they might come in handy at some crucial moment."

"So, this important treasure is entrusted to you to keep safe, Usopp."

He frantically caught the Devil Fruit that was tossed to him.

Usopp immediately realized that Victor was offering him a way out.

This sniper, who always beams at the slightest opportunity, instantly seized the moment, shedding his earlier hesitation and apprehension, and became completely smug.

He held the precious gas fruit in one hand, proudly put his other hand on his hip, tilted his head back, and let out his signature arrogant laugh.

"Hahaha~ I just can't do anything with you guys!"

"Since you've all made this request, I'll reluctantly accept it!"

"After all, the most trustworthy and reliable man on this ship is none other than Captain Usopp!"

He even winked at Viktor and shamelessly assured him, "Viktor, I completely understand what you mean!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this dangerous item; it'll be absolutely safe!"

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat crew, who had initially been somewhat hopeful, all stared at the boastful long-nosed man with black lines on their faces.

Watching Usopp completely put away the fruit that had sparked the controversy.

Luffy, whose mind was filled with nothing but food, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He rubbed his rumbling stomach with both hands in dissatisfaction, tilted his head back, and shouted:

"Alright, alright! Finally, it's all put away!"

"I kept staring at that purple thing, it almost made me nauseous!"

"Everyone, please stop talking about that awful food!"

"Sanji, I'm starving! I need to eat!"

Upon hearing his captain's familiar command to cook rice, Chopper, who had been trembling just moments before, immediately perked up.

He raised his hairy hooves, his eyes shining like searchlights, and excitedly jumped and cheered on the spot:

"Oh! Great! The party's starting! I want some sweet cotton candy!"

In the corridor outside the storage room, Sanji, who was locked in a fierce battle with Zoro, stopped what he was doing when he heard Luffy's energetic call from inside.

He impatiently shoved Zoro away from grabbing his collar and straightened his slightly disheveled suit jacket.

Then, Sanji walked gracefully toward his beloved kitchen, lazily replying without turning his head:

"Hey, Captain. I'll get things ready right away."

"Hey, Algaehead, don't get in my way while I'm preparing this feast. Go to the deck and wait to be fed."
