One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Chapter 366 A Desperate Cry! The Doctor's Orders and the Atrocities of the Drought

Thick gas smoke, like a gray curtain, enveloped this once-prosperous city of Mercury.

"Outsiders...die!"

A loud "crackling" sound accompanied the flashing of intense static sparks in the air.

Wanda, a dog-type fur girl, and Carrot, a rabbit-type fur girl, launched this fierce attack filled with grief and hatred.

They roared hoarsely, vowing to drive all these "lackeys of the Beasts Pirates" out of their country.

However, faced with this sudden and fierce attack...

Zoro glanced sideways, and with a slight flick of his wrist, he precisely and steadily blocked Wanda's furious and powerful slash using only the sturdy scabbard.

With a dull thud, Wanda felt her arms go numb, and the blade in her hand could no longer advance an inch.

On the other side, Viktor simply pushed his hand back and down.

An invisible and massive gravitational field descended instantly, firmly imprisoning Carrot, who was attempting a surprise attack in mid-air, as if she were stuck in quagmire, unable to move.

Although they were easily subdued by the group of outsiders in an instant, the two fur girls showed not a trace of fear of death in their eyes.

Instead, there was an endless despair in the face of national annihilation.

They gritted their teeth and awaited death.

In this tense atmosphere, with swords drawn.

In a corner of the ruins, the severely wounded Mink warrior whom Chopper had been desperately trying to save, miraculously opened his eyes slowly.

"Wanda...Carrot...stop it..."

His voice was hoarse and weak, his breathing intermittent, as he struggled to raise his arm and point at the Straw Hat Pirates:

"They...are not enemies...they are saving me..."

Upon hearing the familiar voice of their companion, Carrot, who was trapped in mid-air, and Wanda, who was blocked, were instantly stunned.

They turned their heads stiffly, looking at Chopper who was busy preparing the antidote, and then at their companion on the ground.

The nerve that had sustained them through this battle collapsed in that instant.

With a crisp "clang," the weapon in his hand fell limply to the scorched earth.

Their knees buckled, and they lost all their strength, collapsing heavily onto their knees amidst the ruins.

Tears streamed down their faces like a burst dam, and they covered their faces, weeping bitterly on this land that had buried countless compatriots.

The cries were a mixture of despair, grievance, and relief at surviving a catastrophe, and they were heartbreaking to hear.

Seeing the two weeping amidst the ruins, Nami and Robin felt a deep pang of pity.

They immediately stepped forward, knelt down, and gently embraced the two girls, patting their backs softly to comfort them.

With tears streaming down her face, Wanda looked up at the crowd and pleaded, sobbing uncontrollably.

She recounted how the country had been shrouded in this terrible poison gas for days, and how countless compatriots were lying deep in the ruins, struggling painfully on the verge of death.

She bent down, pressed her forehead to the cold ground, and pleaded with these kind-hearted pirates to save their endangered country.

Without the slightest hesitation, Luffy quietly looked around at the devastated scene.

He took a deep breath and responded in an incredibly loud voice:

"Ah! Leave it to us!"

Upon hearing that countless people in the city were desperately waiting for rescue, Chopper, who was tidying up his medical kit, suddenly stood up.

At this moment, the timid and adorable pet-like demeanor he usually displayed, hiding behind his companions, vanished completely.

Chopper, with sharp eyes, began quickly and methodically assigning rescue tasks to all crew members:

"Luffy, Zoro!"

"You're strong, go and rescue those people trapped under the heavy rubble in the city right now, and be quick!"

"Sanji, you're fast! Go find a clean water source right away and prepare enough firewood to boil water!"

"Nami, Robin, come help me."

"We need to prepare a large quantity of gas neutralizer and antidote; not a second can be wasted!"

"Frankie! Use your skills to set up temporary gas-free medical tents and a large water purification system on that open space. We need a safe environment!"

"Brook! Aren't you afraid of inhaling this deadly poison gas?"

"Go to the deepest, most dangerous center of the gas and search for survivors. Bring them out!"

After issuing a series of medical instructions, Chopper finally turned to look at Viktor, who was standing to the side.

Victor looked at the imposing young reindeer doctor, smiled slightly, and nodded gently:

"I can give it a try, Dr. Chopper. Leave the task of dispelling the poison gas to me."

Upon receiving the order, the Straw Hat crew immediately sprang into action at full speed.

Brook transformed into a white blur, traversing the dense, poisonous fog that was impassable to ordinary people, searching for faint cries for help.

Franky demonstrated astonishing construction efficiency, and amidst the roar of machinery and sparks, sturdy and sealed temporary camps rose from the ground.

Luffy and Zoro dug through the ruins, carefully carrying the heavily injured Mink out of danger.

Meanwhile, Victor stood on a high point in the city, waving his hands. An invisible repulsive force, like a gale, continuously blew the pungent poisonous gas that lingered on the streets into the sky.

Thanks to Chopper's superb medical skills and the unwavering teamwork of the entire crew, a miracle occurred on this scorched earth.

Hundreds of Mink warriors and civilians who were on the verge of death were pulled back from the brink.

In the once lifeless ruins, faint breathing sounds finally rose again.

During a break when the intense rescue operation, which lasted for several hours, finally came to an end.

Luffy stood alone atop a dilapidated clock tower, the night wind ruffling his red vest.

He looked down at Mercury City, now a complete ruin, and turned to Wanda, whose wounds had just been bandaged, asking who had done such a horrific thing.

Wanda gritted her teeth.

Her bloodshot eyes revealed an indelible hatred as she recounted to Luffy the apocalyptic nightmare.

"It's Jack the Drought, a major figure under the command of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors!"

Wanda's voice was hoarse and filled with grief and indignation.

The monster named Jack was only looking for a samurai from Wano Country named Raizo.

Without distinguishing right from wrong, they launched a five-day, five-night frenzied massacre against this peaceful country that had never clashed with the world.

They trampled the forests, destroyed the cities, and reduced everything beautiful to nothing.

Wanda continued, sobbing, about the two rulers of the Mink Tribe in this brutal battle.

Duke Inuarashi, the "King of Day," who rules the daytime, and Nekomamushi, the "King of Night," who rules the night, lead the warriors of the entire nation in a desperate resistance.

Through their relentless, round-the-clock battles, the two even gained the upper hand at one point, pushing the enemy into a desperate situation.

However, just as victory seemed within reach, Jack resorted to the despicable act of using a large-scale lethal poison gas weapon.

Deadly gas instantly engulfed the entire city, rendering all the warriors incapable of resistance.

Not only that, that cruel demon also cruelly cut off the hands and feet of the two kings, torturing them to the point of near death!

Upon hearing of this heinous atrocity, Luffy stood atop the ruins and slowly lowered his head.

His black hair falling across his forehead and the shadow of his straw hat completely obscured his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.

But the suppressed rage emanating from him made the surrounding air feel scorching.

He slowly extended his right hand and pressed it firmly against the straw hat on his head.

"Kaido—!!!"
