One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Chapter 354 The Captain is Fully Resurrected! A Victory Celebration for the Heroes

The night was deep, and a cool evening breeze swept across the lawn of King's Heights.

Viktor and Zoro stood quietly side by side, their gazes fixed on the direction Sabo had gone in the night.

The figure wearing a top hat and a dark blue trench coat had completely blended into the darkness, leaving no trace.

Although the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff did not go inside to say goodbye to Luffy in person in order to maintain the carefree attitude unique to men of the sea.

But his seemingly casual words before leaving revealed his deep concern and trust for his younger brother to the Straw Hat crew without reservation.

Just as the two outside were enjoying a moment of leisure, a loud commotion suddenly came from inside the cabin.

With a muffled "bang," the entire simple wooden house trembled slightly.

After two full days and two nights of miraculous "sleep-inducing rice" and plenty of deep rest.

Luffy's seemingly tireless body has finally completed its self-repair.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his clear pupils showing no confusion, but instead sparkling with a light as bright as stars.

Immediately afterwards, his body sprang straight up from the floor!

This sudden "zombie" action startled Rebecca, who was standing to the side holding a plate.

She gasped in surprise, nearly dropping the cutlery in her hands.

Luffy, however, was completely oblivious to the astonishment of those around him.

He stretched out his hands and patted his round belly, which had become bloated from eating too much meat, with great satisfaction.

Then he tilted his head back and let out a loud, hearty laugh that echoed throughout the roof:

"Ah—! I slept so well! I feel so full of energy!"

Fully revitalized, Luffy immediately displayed his "first instinct" as the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates the moment his feet touched the ground.

For him, every time he experienced an earth-shattering life-or-death battle and finally achieved victory, it was a moment of triumph.

There is only one thing that must be done, and that is the tradition that is ingrained in our bones.

He excitedly raised his arms high, as if to embrace the whole world, and shouted loudly to his companions who were busy at work inside:

"Everyone! Now that we have successfully defeated Doflamingo!"

"Then, of course, the next step is—to have a banquet!!"

"I want to eat meat! I want to eat lots and lots of meat!"

However, faced with his captain's enthusiastic order, Sanji, who was in charge of the food, frowned and walked out of the makeshift kitchen.

He was still holding a freshly washed soup spoon in his hand. He spread his hands out in front of Luffy, sighed helplessly, and said:

"Hey, Luffy, stop yelling here, you idiot."

"Don't you even see what's happened these past two days?"

Sanji pointed with his spoon to the mountain of empty plates piled up beside him, licked clean, and explained irritably:

"Our daily consumption after the war was already enormous, and on top of that, you've been eating and drinking like a bottomless pit in your dreams these past two days."

"All the food that was originally stored here has long been eaten up by you alone."

"Now there isn't even a single vegetable leaf or a scrap of food left."

"Want to throw a banquet? What will you use?"

Upon hearing Sanji's merciless "sentence," Luffy, who had been full of energy just moments before, instantly deflated like a punctured balloon, his shoulders slumping.

He let out a wail tinged with disappointment and grievance:

"Why is this happening...? My banquet... I'm so hungry..."

Just then, Kyros, who was inside the house, heard Luffy's wail and hurriedly pushed open the door, taking steady steps forward.

This legendary gladiator, who once achieved an undefeated record of three thousand matches in the arena, is now a father who has been reborn and reunited with his daughter.

At this moment, those weathered eyes were filled with undisguised gratitude and deep respect.

He stopped in front of Luffy, his expression extremely solemn.

Then, with a "thump," he solemnly knelt on one knee, pressing his large right hand tightly against his left chest.

"Lord Luffy, and everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates, please give us a chance to repay your kindness!"

Cyrus's voice was strong and resonant, conveying an undeniable sincerity and passion:

"You all went through life and death to save this country from destruction and to save thousands of broken families."

"If Dressrosa can't even provide a decent meal for our great benefactor now..."

"That country and its people will forever be ashamed, forever unable to hold their heads high in front of their benefactor!"

He stood up, his eyes growing even more resolute:

"Please wait here a moment, heroes, while I go and inform His Majesty King Riku!"

Without hesitation, Cyrus turned and pushed open the wooden door, hurrying towards the ruins of the palace under the cover of night.

……

Meanwhile, in a makeshift command post amidst the ruins of the royal palace, the lights were on.

King Riku was sitting at a table made of rubble, his brow furrowed.

He handled the complex tasks of post-disaster reconstruction, resettlement of the wounded, and allocation of supplies in an orderly manner.

The old king appeared somewhat tired from days of hard work, but his spirits were higher than ever before.

When Cyrus strode into the command post, knelt on one knee, and loudly announced the news that "the heroes who saved the country have awakened."

The elderly king was so excited that he suddenly stood up from his chair.

Kyros quickly relayed the Straw Hat crew's current predicament and Luffy's request for food to host a banquet.

After hearing Cyrus's report, King Liku did not hesitate.

He turned to face the busy ministers, generals, and citizen representatives who had come to help, and with a wave of his hand, issued his command as king:

"Quickly! Pass on my order: everyone stop what they are doing immediately!"

"Go and bring out all the wine that has been salvaged from the ruins of the palace, and all the food from the national treasury and warehouses throughout the land!"

"Even the last drop of wine, the last piece of meat, must be sent to the King's Heights!"

King Riku's voice echoed in the night sky for a long time:

"Today, we will use the passion of the entire nation to welcome our benefactors who saved our Dressrosa!"

The old king's decree, like a warm spring breeze, instantly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Dressrosa.

The civilians who were originally clearing the ruins and moving stones overnight.

Those gladiators who laid down their weapons and spontaneously participated in the reconstruction.

And then there are the agile and tireless little Dongtata people.

Upon hearing the news, everyone put down the bricks and tools they were carrying.

No one complained about the exhaustion from working for days on end, nor did anyone hesitate to part with the few remaining supplies in their homes.

They excitedly retrieved intact barrels from the ruins and hoisted them onto their sturdy shoulders.

They pushed wooden carts laden with fresh ingredients, large chunks of roasted meat, and sweet fruits, chatting and laughing all the way, even singing old folk songs from Dressrosa.

The gathering crowds surged like waves of joy from all directions of the island toward the King's Highlands.

Soon after, on the vast open space in front of the King's Heights, the mountains of timber were set ablaze by the burly men.

With a loud "boom," a huge bonfire shot into the sky.

The intense firelight illuminated the entire dark square as bright as day.

Mars danced in the night sky, illuminating the heartfelt, grateful smiles of every citizen of Dressrosa.

In the open space, cheerful foreign music was already playing.

The enthusiastic dancers, dressed in brightly colored flamenco dresses, danced gracefully to lively rhythms, their skirts fluttering like blooming roses in the firelight.

The deafening cheers and expressions of gratitude from the entire island blended together, as if they were about to shake the stars from the sky.

A massive "post-war celebration banquet," filled with laughter and freedom, exclusively for the heroes, has officially begun on this reborn land!
