One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha
Chapter 382 A Nation Under a Dark Cloud! A Telephone Call Between the Sleeping Empress and the One-A
The waters of Tottoland have lost their former melodious and cheerful songs and dreamlike fairytale charm.
For days, thick, gloomy clouds, like lead blocks, have been hanging low over this once bustling sea area.
On the sea, the cold wind whipped up layers of dark gray waves.
The once mighty and imposing main fleet of the Four Emperors, which set out to conquer the world, is now reduced to a few wrecked ships flying tattered pirate flags.
The hulls of these warships were charred and damaged.
The mainmast was broken, and the deck was covered with horrifying scars from being struck by lightning and cut by terrifying sword energy.
Like ghost ships crawling out of the deep sea hell, they slowly sailed into the central port of Whole Cake Island, accompanied by the dull sound of flowing water.
On both sides of the port, citizens from all nations had gathered early, ready to cheer and welcome the triumphant army.
But the moment they saw the state of the ship, the smiles on everyone's faces froze, turning into deep astonishment.
"My God... could that be Lord Smoothie's flagship?"
"How did it get so broken?"
"What on earth happened? Could it be... that we were defeated?"
The people covered their mouths in horror, and gasps of shock echoed throughout the harbor.
They watched as the heavily wounded soldiers, their bodies wrapped in bandages, were carried off the ship on stretchers and groaned in pain.
Looking at those Homies who were usually so lively and energetic, but now looked defeated and dejected.
They also saw the usually high-ranking and arrogant royal ministers, now looking ashen-faced and covered in blood, in a sorry state.
There was no cheering, only deathly silence.
An unprecedented panic, like an invisible plague, spread rapidly throughout the heart of the entire world.
A moment later, at the deepest part of the Whole Cake Island castle.
In a heavily guarded intensive care unit, the strong smell of medicine filled the air.
The world's most skilled doctors, their brows slick with sweat, moved about in front of the enormous, specially made hospital bed.
The surrounding sophisticated medical instruments were emitting a rapid and monotonous ticking sound.
Charlotte Linlin's massive, mountain-like body was wrapped in thick, sterile white bandages.
She was on a life support ventilator, her eyes closed, in a deep coma.
The oppressive force that once terrified the sea has vanished, leaving only a faint breath.
The attending physician's legs trembled uncontrollably. Pale-faced, he knelt on the cold floor, reporting the devastating injury to the somber-looking senior family officials:
"Lord Perospero... Mother's injuries are far too severe."
"Her internal organs were ruthlessly destroyed from the inside by an extremely violent force, causing extensive internal bleeding and organ failure."
The doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued, his voice trembling:
"And then there are the terrifying burns left by those eerie black flames..."
"To be honest, it's only thanks to my mother's monstrous constitution that she survived."
Perospero clenched his fist, his nails digging deep into his palm, and pressed out in a hoarse voice:
"Answer me, when will Mom wake up?"
The attending physician was sweating profusely, and his voice was trembling with tears:
"Your subordinate is incompetent..."
"This is already an area that current medicine cannot reach."
"Maybe a miracle will happen tomorrow, maybe... forever... maybe..."
In the end, he didn't dare to look up at all, biting his lip tightly and banging his head deeply on the floor, not daring to say another word.
Luffy's "King Kong Gun," a fusion of Ryuo and Conqueror's Haki, delivered devastating power directly into her prized "Steel Balloon," causing irreversible internal damage.
In addition, there's the relentless devastation caused by Victor's various bizarre abilities.
When this emperor, who has reigned over the sea for decades, will be able to awaken is entirely unknown.
Although the doctor didn't explicitly say "he might never wake up,"
But everyone in the hall clearly already knew the cruel answer.
The atmosphere in the adjacent conference hall was oppressive and suffocating.
Having lost the protection of their mother, who was like a towering tree, and with their strongest general and most reliable older brother Katakuri already dead in battle.
At this moment, the Whole Cake Island Pirates were like headless flies without a leader, falling into deep despair and confusion.
The eldest son, Perospero, had his head wrapped in heavy, blood-soaked bandages, and even his iconic cane had been replaced with an ordinary wooden crutch.
He was forced to sit in the main seat, which symbolized supreme power, but his bloodshot eyes were also filled with an undisguised deep weariness.
Smoothie and Cracker sat on either side of the long table with their heads down, saying nothing.
Recalling the colossal purple shadow on the sea, like a god, and the raging thundercloud that effortlessly destroyed the entire main fleet.
Their pride and self-esteem have been ruthlessly trampled.
Katakuri's older brother is gone, and the invincible mother has fallen.
The pride and glory of the world in the past have vanished today.
Smoothie gripped her beautiful hair tightly, her eyes filled with undisguised confusion:
Even the invincible mother was defeated head-on...
"That man named Victor is simply unbeatable; he's practically a god."
Her voice trembled slightly: "If we talk about revenge now, it will only be sending the rest of our family to their deaths."
"If... if Katakuri were still here, he would definitely have a way to lead us out of this predicament..."
Upon hearing this name, Perospero, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly stood up and slammed his fist heavily on the solid wood table in front of him.
He roared in a hoarse, cracked voice, "Shut up, Smoothie! Don't bring up that 'what if' again!"
"Katakuri is dead! That's an undeniable fact!"
Perospero was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently.
His bloodshot eyes swept over his trembling younger siblings in the hall, and he roared:
"The sky has fallen over the entire nation!"
"Stop your weak and useless tears and face reality!"
Perospero gritted his teeth:
"The new world is a dark jungle that devours people without spitting out their bones!"
"Don't take any chances; what happened today can't be hidden at all."
"Now all the world's top powers must know that Mom has fallen."
"Although that old monster Whitebeard is getting on in years, he is still the unshakeable overlord of the seas."
"What's worse is that Mom personally killed Kaido's top lieutenant, Jack the Drought, at sea!"
"That hot-tempered madman Kaido will definitely not pretend nothing happened; he could launch a devastating revenge at any moment!"
"Once they, or those hyena-like Marine Headquarters at Marineford, smell the blood of our weakness."
"The entire kingdom will be devoured alive by those wolves, leaving not even a trace!"
As the eldest son of the Charlotte family, he displayed the necessary decisiveness and ruthlessness when the family faced a life-or-death crisis:
"Pass on my order: immediately abandon all outer island defenses!"
"Withdraw all scattered troops and supplies!"
"Contract all forces and return to Whole Cake Island and its surrounding core area to activate the highest level of blockade defense!"
"No one is allowed to make any move before Mother wakes up. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!"
Just as everyone in the hall was on edge, ready to carry out orders, the heavy conference room door was suddenly kicked open.
A chess piece tumbled and crawled in, falling heavily to the ground.
In his hands, he was holding a large Den Den Mushi (snail phone) that was emitting a piercing "blur blur" sound.
The Den Den Mushi looked extremely ugly and bizarre.
It was missing several teeth in its wide-open mouth, and a large piece of its right limb was strangely missing.
Furthermore, the snail's eyes held an unsettling glint of cunning and madness.
"What's all this commotion about! Don't you know we're in a meeting?!" Perospero shouted angrily.
His subordinate swallowed hard, his body trembling as he reported to him:
"Lord Perospero... a top-level emergency communication has been forcibly accessed through our internal lines!"
"It's...it's Admiral Marshall D. Teach of the Blackbeard Pirates!"
As the subordinate's terrified words fell, the Den Den Mushi's mouth suddenly split open, and a rough laugh echoed through the hall.
"Thief, hahaha!"
"You little devils from all over the world, I heard your invincible mother is asleep right now?"
The Den Den Mushi perfectly mimicked Blackbeard's demeanor, exuding the arrogance unique to a ruthless tyrant.
"I have an irreconcilable feud with that bastard named Victor, because of the one-armed scumbag..."
"So, since we share a common enemy, how about we take this great opportunity to make a win-win deal?"
