One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

When the blind man politely asked for directions, Viktor smiled and shook his head, calmly declining:

"Excuse me, sir."

"We're all new here too, and we don't know the way at all."

"Why don't you ask the other people in this town?"

Upon hearing this, the blind man did not press the matter, but nodded gently: "I see. I'm sorry to have bothered you all."

After saying that, he gripped his guide cane again, stepped into his wooden clogs, and slowly turned and left with a crisp "tap, tap" sound.

Viktor only slowly put down his cup after the blind man's broad back had completely disappeared at the end of the bustling street.

He turned his head and lowered his voice to the people around him, saying:

"He is a candidate for admiral in the Navy, codename 'Fujitora'."

These words were like a bombshell that exploded in everyone's ears.

Upon hearing the word "Admiral," Luffy, who had been carefree and munching on his rice, along with Franky, Robin, and Nami beside him, froze instantly.

The four of them gasped in unison, their mouths agape in astonishment, their jaws nearly slamming onto the table.

"Huh?! That seemingly ordinary blind old man was actually one of the Navy's top combatants?!"

After recovering from the immense shock, Franky abandoned his usual playful demeanor and solemnly adjusted his sunglasses.

"It seems that the newspaper this morning really did attract the navy to this island as well."

"While the situation hasn't completely descended into chaos..."

Franky stood up, looked at Luffy seriously, and said, "Luffy, I'm going to find that underground factory called SMILE."

"Destroying it is also part of our plan; we can't rely on that gloomy guy Traman to do all the work."

Luffy nodded in agreement without hesitation, his eyes full of trust:

"Alright! The task of destroying the factory is yours, Franky!"

"Alright, in that case, let's head to the arena."

Victor turned to Robin and Nami and methodically gave them instructions:

"Nami, Robin, you two are in charge of going to town and finding out what kind of forces and monsters have come to Dressrosa this time."

"Also, keep an eye on Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp on the streets, and make sure they don't cause any unnecessary trouble."

"As for me, I'll accompany Luffy to take a look at the waiting area of ​​the arena."

"Look at this legendary 'road sign history text,' just how many troublesome monsters has it attracted."

Robin and Nami nodded solemnly.

The five then swiftly split into three groups, each disappearing into the crowd to begin their operation.

Viktor and Luffy followed the flow of people and soon arrived at the "Colombo Arena" located in the center of town.

This is a magnificent, massive circular building full of ancient Roman style.

An incredibly long queue had already formed outside the arena.

Inside the towering stone walls, the deafening cheers of the audience mingled with the sounds of fierce fighting, soaring into the sky and stirring the blood.

The two successfully passed through the registration channel and entered the dimly lit waiting area.

This place is practically a chaotic battlefield where all sorts of people mingle.

Everywhere you look, there are New World pirates with bulging muscles and a strong smell of blood, as well as underground assassins with sinister eyes.

Everyone was whispering and greedily discussing the rumors about the "road sign history text".

Driven by a fervent desire to obtain this crucial landmark leading to the Pirate King's ultimate treasure, these ruthless outlaws, who live on the edge of death, are filled with fanaticism and are willing to sacrifice their own lives without hesitation.

The two had just found a corner to stand in the waiting area when they noticed a rather noisy commotion in the crowd ahead.

Then, a man with flowing blond hair and a handsome face that was almost otherworldly made a flamboyant entrance.

He is none other than Cavendish, the White Horse Prince, also known as the "Pirate Prince".

He had a bright red rose in his mouth, and his expression seemed somewhat neurotic.

Standing in the center of the crowd, he loudly proclaimed his insane killing intent towards the "evil generation":

"It's you bunch of arrogant newbies who stole the limelight that should have been mine! I swear I'll tear you all to pieces!"

Cavendish tossed his blond hair and arrogantly raised his chin:

"Listen up! Only a gorgeous young man like me deserves the resounding title of 'The Worst Generation'!"

Hearing this, Luffy, who was standing at the back of the crowd, swallowed nervously.

He silently reached out and tidied his comical white beard and "bullfighting mask," afraid that this lunatic would recognize him.

Just then, a tall man covered in hideous scars pushed through the crowd and walked straight up to Luffy.

Although Luffy was dressed in a floral shirt, wearing a mask and a fake beard, making a mess of his disguise, the man still recognized him at a glance.

The one who came was none other than "Hyena" Bellami, with whom he had a grudge on Gako Island.

Having endured the brutal beating on the Sky Island and countless life-or-death trials in the cruel waters of the New World.

Bellamy has long since shed the ignorant and flamboyant arrogance of her youth, and her eyes have become deep and sharp.

He stared at Luffy for a while with a complicated expression, then said in a low voice, "Straw Hat... it's been a long time."

"Now, I will no longer laugh at your dreams like I did back then."

Luffy peered at him through the holes in the mask, seemingly wondering who he was.

Bellamy clenched her fists, her eyes revealing an unwavering resolve:

"But I must win this match in this arena today and get the rubbing of the inscription on that signpost!"

"I will use this as a pledge of allegiance to become a true core member of the Don Quixote family!"

"Therefore, even when facing you, I will show no mercy!"

Faced with Bellamy's heavy and heartfelt confession about the battle, Luffy tilted his head without warning.

Then, this captain with his peculiar way of thinking, without any qualms, began his clumsy act of feigning stupidity:

"Huh? Who are you, big guy? You've mistaken me for someone else!"

"My name isn't Straw Hat, it's Lucy!"

After uttering this utterly unconvincing line, Luffy grabbed Victor's wrist and, like a gust of wind, ran off to the other side of the waiting area without looking back.

The two ran all the way and finally found a secluded and quiet corner on the edge of the waiting area.

Luffy leaned against the cold stone wall, patted his chest with lingering fear, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah, that was close, that was close!"

"I almost got recognized and exposed by that guy just now."

"Luckily, I reacted quickly and fooled him!"

Viktor stood to the side, arms crossed.

He glanced down at Luffy's comical disguise—a sunflower shirt and fake mustache mask that wouldn't fool even a three-year-old—and his lips twitched slightly.

Victor sighed inwardly and ultimately chose to remain silent, as a way of protecting the captain's fragile confidence.

Just as Luffy relaxed, a loud, arrogant, and ear-piercing laugh suddenly rang out again in the previously noisy waiting area:

"Hahaha! What kind of bullshit pirate prince is this?!"

"Holding a rose and striking poses here, she's nothing but a useless woman!"

The laughter, laced with a wild and domineering aura, instantly drowned out the noise of the entire venue.

"You bunch of useless trash, let's stop this old-fashioned charade here!"

"We, the Blackbeard Pirates, will accept this rubbing of the Poneglyph without hesitation!"

Upon hearing the words "Blackbeard," the crowd in the waiting area erupted in terrified screams.

In the clearing space where the crowd had dispersed, a terrifying figure, massive in size, with muscles bulging like rocks and wearing a dark wrestler's mask, stepped heavily into everyone's sight like an iron tower.

The newcomer was none other than the captain of the first division of the Blackbeard Pirates—"Fighting Champion" Jesus Burgess!
