One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

The morning sun pierced through the thin mist and poured onto the muddy grass.

The sword that belonged to Kin'emon lay there quietly, its sharp blade gleaming with a chilling light under the sunlight.

Momonosuke knelt before the cold sword, his youthful face streaked with tears.

Large tears fell in a steady stream, pattering down onto the muddy ground.

His fear reached its peak at that moment.

Standing before him was a newly crowned "Sea Emperor" who had just defeated the old hegemon and whose fame had spread throughout the world.

To swing a sword at such a powerful and terrifying figure would surely result in being killed on the spot.

Moreover, the sword was far too heavy for him.

This is not merely the physical weight of cold steel, but also the heavy hope of hundreds of thousands of people in Wano Country struggling in dire straits.

This invisible pressure made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He instinctively turned his head and looked at Kin'emon behind him with a pleading look.

But to their despair, they found that under the invisible but powerful pressure emanating from the Straw Hat crew, all the retainers were frozen in place, not daring to make any rash moves.

He understood that no one could help him at this moment; he had to face this immense pressure alone.

Seeing the young master's helpless eyes, the loyal Kin'emon bit his lip until it bled.

He could no longer contain his anxiety and subconsciously took a step forward to help.

"Clang!"

However, before he could take his second step, a cold-looking scabbard was placed across his chest.

Zoro, holding Wado Ichimonji in one hand, blocked Kin'emon's path like a gatekeeper.

Zoro looked at Momonosuke crying on the ground and shook his head slightly:

"Samurai, just stand there and watch quietly."

"If he doesn't even have the courage to pick up this sword himself, then he should find a secluded place to eke out a living."

"Don't think about revenge, and don't get involved in the cruelest war on this sea."

Listening to Zoro's words, and looking into Luffy's deep, unwavering eyes.

Momonosuke's body trembled violently. He gritted his teeth, and his mind was filled with those painful memories that kept him awake at night.

He thought of his father, Kozuki Oden, who, in the boiling cauldron of oil, used his arms, which were cooked until the skin was torn and bleeding, to support the towering figure of all his retainers.

He recalled the burning Oden Castle, and his mother, Kozuki Toki, tearfully uttering her last words to him, expressing her high hopes for him.

"Momonosuke, you must live on. You must become the dawn of Wano Country."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Momonosuke stopped crying.

He slowly extended his small, muddy, and trembling hands, inching closer to the samurai sword, and finally gripped the cold hilt tightly.

"Aaaaaahh ...

He gritted his teeth, his face turning red.

He raised the samurai sword high.

Then, he closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face as he shouted, and swung his sword fiercely at Luffy in front of him!

Without any suspense, this seemingly random strike came to an abrupt end in mid-air.

Luffy simply extended his right hand and easily grasped the middle section of the sword.

Due to excessive force when swinging the sword, coupled with extreme mental tension, Momonosuke was instantly exhausted after swinging the sword.

His legs buckled, and he fell backward onto the grass in a disheveled state.

He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

Surprisingly, his small hands, covered in mud, still gripped the sword hilt tightly, showing no sign of loosening their grip.

Looking at this disheveled little brat.

Luffy dropped his previously imposing and serious expression.

He reached out his left hand to press down on the straw hat on his head, and his lips parted into a wide grin, revealing his signature bright smile:

"Hehe, although this sword swing was really terrible, it couldn't even hit a mosquito. But I saw your determination."

Luffy loosened his grip on his sword and extended his right hand toward Momonosuke, who was slumped on the ground, his eyes filled with confidence and brilliance.

"Then let's go and give that Kaido guy a good beating!"

Looking at Luffy's infectious smile, one can feel the goodwill emanating from this young emperor.

Momonosuke's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

He immediately wiped away his tears and gave a hopeful smile:

"Yes, Lord Luffy!"

"I will follow your instructions completely!"

The surrounding samurai also breathed a sigh of relief and showed relieved smiles.

But Viktor, who had been standing to the side, clearly had more to say.

He strode forward with his long, slender legs and slowly walked up to Momonosuke.

I saw this terrifying man, who had just mercilessly trampled me into the mud, walking towards me.

Momonosuke, like a frightened bird, immediately dropped his sword and covered his head with both hands, fearing that the other party would kick him hard again.

Victor stopped and looked down at the trembling brat:

"An alliance is fine. Since the captain has agreed, I naturally have no objection."

"However, there are some rules we must establish in advance."

Viktor raised his right hand, his fingertips lightly rubbing together in the air, and a flash of black and red lightning filled with destructive energy appeared instantly.

"From now on, put away all those messy thoughts of yours."

"If you make me feel even the slightest bit unhappy..."

Viktor leaned forward slightly: "I guarantee that before Kaido dies, your head will be gone first. Understand?"

Faced with this blatant threat of death, Momonosuke was so frightened that he nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

Nami and Robin, standing at the back, exchanged a glance, their bright eyes filled with undisguised smiles.

After reprimanding Momonosuke, Viktor straightened up.

His gaze swept over Kanjuro, who stood silently to the side, almost imperceptibly.

Kanjuro keenly noticed the cold gaze and was immediately terrified.

He thought Victor was holding a grudge about drawing his knife earlier and was looking for an opportunity to get revenge on him.

Cold sweat instantly soaked through the large kimono on his back.

He could only lower his head guiltily, no longer daring to make eye contact with Viktor.

After the commotion subsided, everyone composed themselves and returned to the spacious camp arranged by the fur tribe.

Inside the council hall, Nami laid out a detailed hand-drawn map of Wano Country on a large wooden table.

Kin'emon stood solemnly by the table and began to explain the complex terrain of Wano Country to the Straw Hat crew in detail.

And basic intelligence on the current general, Kurozumi Orochi's, forces.

After hearing about the stark disparity in troop strength, the meeting fell into a brief period of reflection.

To ensure the success of this crucial revenge battle that would determine the fate of the nation, the leader of the Cat Viper gang took a deep drag on his pipe and immediately decided to set sail.

He was going to find his old acquaintances from years ago—the "Whitebeard Pirates"—to join the battle as powerful allies.

When Luffy heard the name "Whitebeard Pirates," he immediately thought of his brother Ace.

He patted the cat viper boss on the shoulder with a big smile and loudly pleaded:

"Cat viper!"

"If you see Ace, please tell him about our current situation!"

"Tell him I've already defeated one of the Four Emperors!"

"I'll become the Pirate King! Hehehe!"

The leader of the cat viper tapped his pipe on the corner of the table and immediately nodded seriously in agreement.

Meanwhile, Duke Inuarashi stated that Zou Island had suffered severe damage in this catastrophe.

He will lead the musketeers to remain on the island, rebuilding their homes while allowing the soldiers to recuperate.

After settling everything in place, they will serve as the strongest support force and then head to Wano Country to follow up on the battle.

The operational meeting was drawing to a close.

Because the biggest variable—Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors—had already been crippled, the Whole Cake Island fleet was also routed.

The Straw Hat crew now doesn't need to send troops to Whole Cake Island to kidnap Sanji like in the original story.

Luffy placed his hands on the table, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, and excitedly announced his battle plan:

"No need for that! Let's all go together! We'll just storm Wano Country from the front!"

Everything is ready.

Several hours later, the entire Mink tribe gathered on the steep cliff edge of the elephant's leg.

They waved their weapons and flowers, bidding farewell to the Allied army that had saved them and was about to head to the center of a new world to change the world order.

Wanda, Garrot, and several other Mink girls stood at the front, their eyes slightly red, waving goodbye to their benefactors on the sea with reluctance.

With a huge splash, the Thousand Sunny and the Heart Pirates' Polar Dive landed on the turbulent sea.

Two pirate ships hoisted their sails, braving the wind and waves, and sailed side by side toward the unknown sea.

Kin'emon and the other samurai stood at the edge of the deck, turning back to watch the Zou giant elephant recede further and further into the clouds.

Recalling the hardships they had endured and the powerful support they had received, everyone was filled with mixed emotions and hope for the future.

Luffy, like a nimble monkey, leaped onto the lion-head VIP seat at the bow of the Sunny in a few bounds.

He sat cross-legged, letting the fierce, salty sea breeze blow against his signature red vest.

He reached out and pressed his hand tightly against the straw hat on his head, facing the raging wind and waves ahead.

"Go! Men! Full speed ahead!"

"Target! Wano Country!"
