One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Chapter 358 The Lingering Charm of Dawn! The Approaching Navy and the Blocked Port

The morning sunlight, like fine gold foil, pierced through the half-open old wooden window of the attic and quietly spilled onto the messy bed.

A faint aftertaste of last night's intense passion still lingered in the air.

The air was filled with the clear chirping of birds outside the window, creating a sense of tranquility and peace.

Viktor was the first to awaken from his slumber.

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze gently sweeping over the small space around him.

Then they lowered their heads slightly; their sleeping faces were serene and captivating, and their even breaths gently pattered against his chest.

Viktor's eyes softened considerably.

A faint smile played on his lips as he leaned down and gently placed a kiss on each of their lips, awakening them from their sweet dream in the most tender way.

With two lazy hums, Nami and Robin slowly opened their watery eyes.

The three of them got up from the bed and began to tidy up a bit.

Because the amount of exercise last night was really excessive.

Nami stretched out a big yawn, revealing her stunningly curvaceous figure.

She rubbed her slightly red eyes and softly suggested that she wanted to find a place to take a nice, relaxing bath first.

Upon hearing this, Robin also felt that he was not feeling very clean and definitely needed to wash himself properly.

But she walked to the window and glanced at the simple wooden cabin at her feet, and the nearby forest where post-disaster cleanup was still underway.

After pondering for a moment, she turned and smiled at Nami, suggesting:

"Let's be patient and wash up when we get back to the Sunny."

"After all, it would be quite troublesome to boil water for a bath in this simple wooden hut, and it would also cause unnecessary embarrassment if those guys downstairs saw us."

Hearing Robin's thoughtful consideration, Nami nodded in agreement.

However, just as she finished changing her clothes and was about to go downstairs, Nami couldn't help but recall the scene from last night.

Her fair cheeks instantly flushed with an alluring blush, like a fiery sunset.

You know, in the latter half of last night, in order not to wake up my companions who were sleeping soundly in the lobby downstairs.

She bit her lower lip very hard, desperately trying to suppress her voice.

But she couldn't hold back in the end, and a few sounds escaped her lips intermittently...

The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed and annoyed she became, fearing that her companions would tease her when she went downstairs.

Nami stopped in her tracks, couldn't help but turn around, raised her small fist and gently punched Viktor beside her, giving him a playful glare.

It's all because of this energetic guy!

They know perfectly well that the soundproofing is poor, yet they still find all sorts of ways to make things difficult for people!

Viktor chuckled, then took her outstretched hand and gently kissed it.

The three of them then composed themselves and slowly walked down the old wooden stairs.

As soon as you enter the lobby on the first floor, a rich and appetizing aroma of food wafts over you.

Looking around, apart from Usopp still fast asleep in the corner, snoring loudly, all the other companions had already woken up.

Everyone was sitting around a large wooden table that had been pieced together, devouring their food in a whirlwind.

Luffy, who was gnawing on a huge piece of roasted meat with bones, his mouth dripping with oil, heard a noise coming from the stairs.

He looked up, saw the three people coming downstairs, immediately grinned widely, and greeted them indistinctly:

"Good morning!"

Nami stood at the top of the stairs, her gaze quickly sweeping across the faces of each of her companions.

Seeing that everyone was focused on eating, with natural expressions, and no one showing any strange expression as if they had "heard some strange noise".

She finally breathed a sigh of relief and put her last worry aside.

She raised her usual bright and radiant smile and waved naturally:

Hi everyone, good morning!

She then led Victor and Robin downstairs and sat down at an empty seat at the table, joining the lively breakfast session.

As everyone was enjoying their delicious breakfast with great enthusiasm and laughter, Luffy suddenly stopped chewing.

He swallowed the food in his mouth, craned his neck, looked around, and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Hmm? That's strange, it feels like someone's missing. Where did Traman go?"

Upon hearing the captain's question, Sanji walked over from the makeshift stove carrying a bowl of freshly cooked clear soup.

He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and casually began to mock his nemesis sitting opposite him:

"Who knows? Maybe he'll be just like that hopeless green algae-headed guy, getting completely lost even on a flat main road."

Zoro, who was gulping down alcohol, suddenly stopped upon hearing this.

His eye twitched, and he abruptly turned his head, glaring fiercely at Sanji:

"You curly-browed bastard, do you want to die?! Who gets lost walking on flat ground?!"

"Isn't it you?!"

Sanji retorted without backing down, and it looked like they were about to start fighting again, just like always.

Watching their familiar banter, Victor smiled and waved his hand, interrupting their argument, and added an explanation to Luffy:

"In Trafalgar, he left home just as dawn was breaking."

"They said they were going to pay their respects to Corazon somewhere in Dressrosa."

"Judging by the time, they should be back soon."

Luffy nodded in understanding, then stopped asking questions and immediately resumed his frantic rice-eating spree.

It was in this relaxed and pleasant everyday atmosphere.

The cabin's already somewhat dilapidated wooden door was suddenly pushed open from the outside with a loud "bang".

Cyrus strode in, his chest heaving violently.

This usually composed legendary gladiator, however, now looked flustered and shouted a warning:

"Everyone! Something terrible has happened!"

"The Navy, the Navy is here!"

"Our outposts along the coastline have just reported urgent intelligence: a large number of naval warships are about to dock!"

Upon hearing this thunderous news, the Straw Hat crew, who had been relaxed and lazy in the room, immediately put down their cutlery.

Luffy, his mouth still stuffed with food, his cheeks bulging, let out a muffled gasp:

"Huh?! The Navy?!"

Immediately afterwards, the pirate captain's first reaction upon hearing that a powerful enemy was approaching was not to run away.

Instead, his hands instantly transformed into afterimages too fast for the naked eye to follow, and he began to sweep away all the remaining food on the table at a terrifying speed!

He devoured the roast meat, bread, and soup on the plate with lightning speed.

Robin remained calm as always. She turned to look at Cyrus, who looked anxious, and asked softly:

"Mr. Cyrus, what about our supplies for the voyage..."

Cyrus immediately nodded heavily, giving the most resolute reply: "Please rest assured!"

"Just in case, His Majesty King Riku has instructed us to move a large amount of supplies onto your ships overnight."

"All kinds of food, fresh water and repair materials needed for navigation are readily available and absolutely plentiful."

"You are ready to set sail at any time!"

"Time to wash! I'm full!"

With a "gulp," he laboriously swallowed the last huge piece of meat with bone.

Luffy patted his round belly with great satisfaction and excitedly raised his arms and cheered.

The group quickly gathered together and briefly discussed the current situation.

After a decade of darkness and suffering, Dressrosa has just begun to see the hard-won dawn of peace and reconstruction.

If these pirates stay here, they will face a fierce confrontation with the legendary naval commanders who have brought their massive fleets.

This will inevitably bring new disasters and incalculable damage to this already devastated country.

In order not to cause trouble for the friends I just met.

Everyone unanimously decided to abandon the pointless fighting and immediately evacuate the island.

Without delay, Zoro grabbed Usopp, who was still fast asleep in the corner, and hoisted him onto his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

The group quickly gathered their equipment and weapons, pushed open the wooden door, and rushed out.

Under the personal guidance of Cyrus, who was familiar with the terrain.

The Straw Hat crew raced along a little-known, secluded path toward the docked "Golden Thousand Sunny."

Throughout the journey, everyone maintained a solemn expression and walked at a brisk pace.

I thought this evacuation would be met with heavy interception and tight control by the navy.

However, to everyone's surprise, they unexpectedly found that the road to the East Coast was unusually clear.

Forget about defensive lines and traps, we didn't even see a single naval soldier along the way.

"What's going on? Is the navy's defense so lax? Is there some kind of conspiracy?"

A hint of doubt arose in Nami's mind, and she looked around warily.

However, when Luffy took the lead and was the first to arrive at the open port on the east coast, he suddenly stopped running.

The Straw Hat crew following behind also slammed on the brakes, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.

What I saw was the long coastline that should have been wide and flat.

At this moment, it was completely blocked by a dense crowd that stretched as far as the eye could see!

Standing at the forefront of this sea of ​​people were not navy personnel in white uniforms.

It was none other than the gladiator heroes including Bartolomeo, Cavendish, the giant Heldin, and Lao Cai of the Eight Treasures Navy!

More than five thousand fully armed fanatics gathered together to form a massive and terrifying force.

They held various weapons and were arranged in a neat and uniform formation.

With the slightly salty sea breeze of the early morning, more than five thousand pairs of eyes were fixed on the Straw Hat crew as they emerged from the woods with an air of solemn reverence and anticipation…
