One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Chapter 381 The Tremors of Marineford! The Collapsing Balance and the Highest Alert

Inside the former G1 branch, the new Navy Headquarters, and the Marshal's office.

Admiral Sakazuki was sitting behind a large desk.

His brows were furrowed as he flipped through a series of classified documents concerning the unusual movements of pirates in the New World, his eyes revealing a chilling and agitated expression.

The situation in the New World has become increasingly chaotic recently, and the unusual actions of the Four Emperors have given this iron-blooded marshal a huge headache.

Just then, in the corner of the desk, the top-secret golden Den Den Mushi, with the highest level of security, suddenly emitted a rapid "brubru" call.

Sakazuki's expression hardened, and he quickly reached for the microphone.

The moment the Den Den Mushi connected, the snail's face immediately mirrored the deathly pale expression of the intelligence major general in charge of surveillance at the front:

"Marshal Sakazuki!"

"Major event...the sky is falling!"

"The main fleet of the Treasure Kingdom...was defeated off the coast of Zou!"

Upon hearing this, Sakazuki was visibly taken aback.

A hint of undisguised surprise flashed across his perpetually calm and aloof face.

He slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly, loudly demanding:

"What did you say?! Charlotte Linlin, that monster, has been defeated?"

"Who did this?! Was it Kaido of the Beasts or Whitebeard?!"

In Sakazuki's subconscious, only a few other emperors of the same rank could annihilate the main fleet of one of the Four Emperors.

However, the voice on the other end of the Den Den Mushi carried an almost dreamlike despair:

"No...neither! It's Straw Hat Luffy and 'Crimson' Victor!"

"The Four Emperors were driven into the deep sea by the combined efforts of these two, and their fate is now unknown! The Whole Cake Island fleet is almost completely annihilated!"

"You bastard!"

Sakazuki suddenly stood up and roared at the Den Den Mushi like a volcanic eruption:

"Are you kidding me?!"

"How could the Four Emperors be defeated by those two brats who have only been at sea for a few years?"

"Do you know what the consequences are for falsely reporting military intelligence of this level?!"

Faced with the marshal's furious rage, enough to melt anyone over the phone, the intelligence major general could no longer hold back and, with a sob in his voice, screamed out everything he had seen:

"It's true, Your Excellency!"

"This is what I saw with my own eyes through binoculars! There is not a single lie!"

"Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, has truly been defeated in a direct confrontation by the Straw Hat crew! The remaining Whole Cake Island fleet is fleeing for its life like stray dogs!"

"Marshal, are you still listening?! The Four Emperors have been defeated! The fate of the New World is about to change!"

Hearing the Major General's unmistakably genuine shout, Sakazuki's chest heaved violently a few times.

Then, with a gloomy face, he slammed down the Den Den Mushi's receiver.

"Snapped!"

The office fell silent once again.

Sakazuki turned around and strode to the spacious floor-to-ceiling window.

He looked down at the naval soldiers training on the parade ground below, his face so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water.

His mind involuntarily drifted back to the brutal Marineford War two years prior.

Sakazuki clenched his fists tightly, lava churning between his fingers.

His heart was filled with endless regret and remorse:

Damn it! If I had known this would happen, I should have killed that straw hat kid and Victor on the ice of Marineford, even at a terrible cost!

Releasing a tiger back into the mountains has now finally led to a major disaster that could overturn the world!

Sakazuki turned around and roared at the adjutant standing guard outside the door:

"Immediately summon all high-ranking officers currently at headquarters!"

"Tell them to drop everything and assemble immediately in the highest conference room! Not a second is allowed to be wasted!"

"Yes, Marshal!" The adjutant trembled with fear at the terrifying aura, immediately saluted, and ran away.

Accompanied by Sakazuki's roar, the highest level of alert, representing the Navy's highest crisis response level, instantly resounded throughout the entire Marineford fortress.

All officers of general rank and above, whether instructing new recruits on the training field or handling documents in the office.

Upon hearing this top-level alarm, which signifies a global upheaval, he immediately dropped everything and rushed to the highest conference room on the top floor of the fortress as quickly as possible.

The doors to the highest conference room were pushed open with a thud.

Vice Admiral Tsuru, Chief of the Naval Staff, walked in with steady steps and took his seat without saying a word.

Former Fleet Admiral Sengoku also strode in. Although he habitually carried a bag of senbei in his hand, he was completely devoid of his usual leisurely mood for snacking.

Following that, Admirals such as "Kizaru" Borsalino and "Aokiji" Kuzan, representing the Navy's highest combat power, all arrived.

In the conference room, where stars shone brightly, each and every one of them was a great figure who commanded respect across the seas.

But at that moment, the air in the entire conference room seemed to freeze.

Not long after everyone was seated, the conference room door was pushed open again.

Sakassky strode into the conference room.

He walked to the front of the long table, placed his hands on the tabletop, and his fierce eyes swept across the entire room.

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, he turned directly to the communications officer beside him and gave the following order:

"Immediately project the top-secret video footage that the reconnaissance ships at the front risked their lives to transmit back onto the big screen."

"yes!"

The communications soldier operated the projector, his brow beaded with sweat.

With a "beep," the huge screen at the end of the conference room lit up instantly.

The video started playing, and although it was a bit shaky due to the distance, the breathtaking scene was still clearly visible.

The first thing that caught the eye of the highest-ranking officers in the Navy was Victor's complete Susanoo, which was hundreds of meters tall.

Looking at the energy giant wearing a tengu mask on the screen, and at the enormous chakra wings that, when unfolded, could blot out the sky.

And the terrifying giant sword in its hand, capable of cleaving through the main warships of the Four Emperors with a single swing, immediately elicited a collective gasp of astonishment throughout the conference room.

Kizaru, sitting in the chair, pushed up his yellow sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Oh my gosh... This is really an exaggeration."

"I've been sailing the seas for so many years, and this is the first time I've ever seen such a monster."

"What kind of unknown Devil Fruit does that man named Victor possess?"

"This superhuman size and destructive power are like a god of destruction straight out of ancient mythology!"

However, the shock on the screen went far beyond that.

The video continues to play.

When everyone in the conference room saw Victor clasp his hands together and casually create a pitch-black sphere that generated a terrifying suction force, sealing the surrounding warships, seawater, and the raging Big Mom into a giant rock sphere in mid-air.

When they saw Luffy, his body wreathed in dark red Conqueror's Haki, transform into a giant Bouncer, and punch Big Mom, who had broken free of her seal, into the deep, cold seabed like a meteor.

Even Lieutenant General Tsuru, who had experienced countless storms, couldn't help but brace himself on the table and stand up abruptly.

The entire conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the officers' eyes were filled with horror.

It was a monster that had suppressed the New World for countless years and was widely recognized as invincible.

A true emperor of the sea was actually defeated head-on by these two young pirates?!

Lieutenant General Tsuru took a deep breath, calming the turbulent emotions churning within him.

She glanced around at her silent colleagues and, in an extremely heavy tone, announced a cruel truth to the entire room:

"Everyone, stop hoping for the best."

"The balance of power that had been maintained for countless years has now been completely shattered."

Vice Admiral Tsuru pointed at the fleeing World Fleet on the screen: "The Big Mom Pirates' elite forces have all perished, and their commander's fate is unknown."

"The fragile scales of the new world have been completely tipped."

"The ocean is about to be hit by an unprecedented and terrifying storm."

The previously silent Sengoku picked up a thick intelligence file in front of him.

His gaze was fixed on the pair of glowing purple eyes in the close-up shot of Victor on the screen.

"The crane is right."

Zhan Guo turned to one of the pages of the archive and pointed out in a serious tone.

"What's even more terrifying is this man named Victor."

"He has not only demonstrated various amazing attribute attacks, but also summoned energy giants."

"It can even manipulate gravity and repulsion, absorb energy without contact, and release black flames that can burn even firework to ashes."

Sengoku slammed the file heavily on the table: "These diverse and independent, heaven-defying abilities completely defy the rules governing any single Devil Fruit power."

"He's simply an eccentric who defies common sense."

"Marshal, we must revise the arrest warrant immediately."

"This will elevate Viktor to the same level as one of the Four Emperors!"

Upon hearing Sengoku's analysis, Sakazuki's anger surged once more.

He slammed his fist heavily into the wall behind him, and with a "boom," scalding lava erupted, melting a large crater in the hard brickwork.

"Not only that! We must take immediate action!"

Sakazuki gritted his teeth: "Order the intelligence forces to cut off all external communications in that sea area at all costs!"

"Send out all the warships to intercept the news birds! We absolutely cannot let the news of the Straw Hat crew defeating the Four Emperors get out!"

"Once this news gets out, those restless rookie pirates will go crazy, triggering another massive pirate uprising!"

However, before Sakazuki could finish speaking...

The heavy door to the top conference room was suddenly pushed open by a communications lieutenant colonel with a panicked expression.

He was clutching a newspaper tightly in his hand.

"Marshal Sakazuki...it's too late! Please take a look at this!!"

The communications lieutenant colonel's lips trembled as he held the newspaper high in his hand, displaying it to all the naval high command.

The headline on the front page of the newspaper, with its bold, scarlet lettering that occupied half the page, pierced the eyes of everyone present.

A New Era of Madness! The Monster Pirates Defeated Charlotte Linlin, and the "Fifth Emperor" Ascends to the Top!

The accompanying image is a high-definition snapshot of Luffy wielding the King Kong Gun to knock Big Mom into the deep sea.

The highest meeting room in Marineford instantly fell into a deathly silence.

All the high-ranking naval officers felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the glaring headline.

They knew that the world that had barely maintained order had collapsed.

A completely runaway, chaotic era has arrived.
