One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

After the giant serpent was dealt with, the castle tower was filled with a nauseating, strong smell of blood.

Hiyori took a deep breath, her high chest heaving slightly, trying to calm her emotions that had been turbulent with revenge.

She glanced down at the gruesome sight of the giant snake lying unconscious in a pool of blood like a dead dog, then turned and walked toward Victor.

She held the heavy black sword "Autumn Water" in both hands, her eyes slightly lowered and brimming with watery light, and respectfully returned the sword.

"Lord Victor, thank you for lending me your help."

In the instant she returned the hilt of the sword, Hiyori's slender, pale fingers "inadvertently" touched the back of Viktor's calloused hand.

Her fingertips trembled slightly, like a frightened fawn in the forest, perfectly revealing a hint of fragility and helplessness.

Viktor's expression remained unchanged, as if he was completely unaware of her subtle, scheming gesture.

He calmly took Qiu Shui and casually flicked his wrist to the side.

With a sharp "whoosh," the blood droplets remaining on the blade were flung off by the skillful force, leaving a glaring red line on the broken tatami mat.

Seeing that shocking line of blood, Hiyori's heart skipped a beat.

But instead of backing down, she bit her luscious red lips and mustered the courage to take a step forward.

She stretched out her jade-like arms and gently embraced Victor's strong arms, sinking them deep into her amazing softness.

She tilted her head slightly, her breath sweet and warm, brushing against Victor's sleeve.

She asked softly, her voice carrying a natural allure and a hint of probing:

"Lord Victor, you have given the Kozuki clan hope for rebirth."

"I truly do not know what price I must pay to repay such a tremendous kindness from you..."

Before Victor could answer, Hiyori's cheeks flushed with an alluring blush, like a newly blossoming peach blossom.

She lowered her head slightly, her voice barely audible:

"Although I have been a courtesan for so long, welcoming and seeing off guests in the brothels, I have always remained chaste and a pure virgin..."

By the end, her head was almost buried in her chest:

"If Lord Victor requires it, I am willing to offer you my most precious possession..."

Hearing this blatant confession and her offer of herself, Victor glanced at her and looked her up and down.

It must be said that the woman in front of us truly deserves the title of "the most beautiful woman in Wano Country".

Her flawless face gleamed alluringly in the flickering candlelight.

Beneath her half-undone clothes, her skin, as delicate as mutton fat jade, and her exquisitely graceful figure were fully revealed, exuding an irresistible mature charm.

Anyone would find it hard to resist the advances of such a noble princess.

But without the slightest hesitation, he decisively pulled his arm away.

"I've already said, I'm not doing this for you."

"It's just that the public execution method you mentioned earlier is indeed more beneficial to the people of Wano Country, as it can truly break the shackles in their hearts."

Hiyori, who was ruthlessly pushed away, immediately showed a heartbroken expression on her face, her eyes glistening with tears as if she were about to shed them at any moment.

She nodded silently, but did not give up. Instead, she added softly:

"Lord Victor, everything I said earlier is true."

"I know my true identity. I am no longer a fake courtesan in the pleasure quarters, but Princess Hiyori of Wano Country."

"And... I will only do this to you. You can do it anytime you wish..."

Hearing these tempting words, Viktor felt no romantic thoughts whatsoever.

Instead, he found the woman in front of him increasingly terrifying, her deep scheming making him wary.

He didn't know whether she had truly changed at the depths of her soul after those cruel and scathing remarks.

Judging from her appearance and her actions just now, she has indeed become more ruthless and decisive.

However, a person's essence is difficult to change drastically in a short period of time.

Although she appears to be a pure and innocent white lotus flower, ready to be picked by anyone, her intelligence in weighing pros and cons and scheming against people is always on point.

The reason she went to such lengths to please him, even at the cost of her dignity and using her chastity as a bargaining chip, was that she willingly offered herself to him.

It's simply that after realizing the impending upheaval in Wano Country, they regarded him as "the second Orochi."

In the past, the great serpent could provide her with the astonishing wealth of a courtesan and a seemingly secure position.

Now, Victor can provide her with the absolute guarantee of top-tier strength on this vast ocean.

As long as he can keep this vice-president with a 3 billion bounty firmly on his side.

She will have the greatest confidence in the future Wano Country, and can even be more unscrupulous.

Such a smart, realistic, and selfish woman was never on Viktor's list of potential partners.

If you go along with her here, you will definitely be drawn into an endless quagmire of troubles and political machinations.

Moreover, he already has three wives who understand him perfectly well, so there's no need for him to get involved with this thorny flower.

Victor, too lazy to waste any more words, put away his gaze and prepared to turn and leave the suffocating hall.

Just as Viktor took a step, preparing to leave the castle tower, a series of dense and rapid footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside.

Denjiro, accompanied by a large number of his most trusted yakuza confidants and loyal samurai, clad in armor and armed with weapons, finally arrived at the castle tower at breakneck speed.

When Denjiro pushed open the ornate shoji door that was already in ruins.

A strong, nauseating stench of blood instantly assaulted the senses, causing many of the warriors following behind to frown.

In the center of the hall, they witnessed a scene they would never forget.

The dictator who cruelly ruled Wano Country for twenty years has had the tendons in his hands and feet severed.

Blood flowed everywhere, and the black charcoal serpent lay unconscious in the pool of blood like a dying dog, barely clinging to life.

Denjiro's gaze shifted from the monstrous body to Hiyori Kozuki, who was not far away.

Although it was unclear why the princess's face was flushed with an unusual redness, her gorgeous clothes were half-undone, revealing her fair shoulders.

But looking at her blood-stained skirt and her cold, ruthless appearance...

Denjiro was momentarily stunned, then his eyes instantly turned red and filled with tears.

"Your Highness..."

Denjiro suddenly knelt down, tears streaming down his face, sobbing uncontrollably.

The warriors following behind him also laid down their weapons and knelt down in worship.

He knew that the frail "Little Purple" who needed his constant protection and endured humiliation in the pleasure quarters had changed.

Standing before him was no longer a weak woman who could only cry and hide, but the true heir of the Kozuki clan, possessing the aura of a king!

Viktor stood aside, completely ignoring the shock and weeping of the Wano Country samurai.

"Don't waste your time here."

Victor interrupted everyone's emotional outpouring.

"Secretly imprison the giant serpent and keep it under strict guard."

"From this moment forward, this great serpent city will be entirely under the control of your subordinates."

"Have your men put on the armor of the city guards and take their places."

"Publicly announce that the general has caught a slight cold and is resting at home, refusing to see anyone!"

"You'll have to handle the cleanup and cover up the traces yourselves."

"Don't let me see you falter at crucial moments, otherwise, there's no need for Wano Country to change masters."

Hearing Viktor's cold command, Denjiro swallowed hard.

He suppressed his shock, slammed his head heavily on the floor, and loudly accepted the order:

"Yes, Your Excellency! I will obey Your Excellency's orders! I will do my utmost, even at the cost of my life, and will never fail Your Excellency's expectations!"

He knelt beside the warm pool of blood, raised his head and looked up at Viktor's tall figure, his heart filled with a storm of emotions.

Who would have thought?

It was only because Kaido went berserk and left in that short one night.

This Flower Capital, which the Kurozumi family has managed for twenty years and is known as indestructible, is the political heart that controls the lifeline of the entire Wano Country...

Incredibly, just like that, with a flick of the wrist of this Lord Honglian, without losing a single soldier or causing any war that affected civilians, it fell into their hands without bloodshed!

The methods and audacity with which this state power was subverted were nothing short of miraculous, inspiring utter awe.
