One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Ghost Island.

Black boulders and jagged reefs appear and disappear as the waves crash against them.

However, in stark contrast to the cold, gloomy sea outside, the area was now bustling with activity in preparation for the upcoming annual grandest "Flame Festival".

The entire interior of Ghost Island had already entered a state of all-night revelry.

The interior of the enormous skull dome was brightly lit and decorated with lanterns.

Countless enormous braziers illuminated the dark stone walls, turning them a fiery red.

The rich aroma of roasted meat and the spicy smell of alcohol, mixed with the boisterous sounds of the pirates playing drinking games and laughing, created a rolling sound wave that rushed straight to the roof.

"Ooooh ooooh ooooh! Jump up to my rhythm, you little ones!!"

On the huge steel stage in the center of the hall.

The main character, "Plague" Quinn, with his comical long golden braid, was awkwardly and comically dancing his funk dance to a lively beat, puffing out thick smoke from his cigar.

His obese body swayed comically to the music, eliciting bursts of enthusiastic cheers from the thousands of pirates below the stage.

In the minds of these Beast Pirates members, Kaido's power is unparalleled, and their brutal rule in Wano Country is indestructible.

In this secluded sea area, no one and no force dared to be so lazy as to cause them trouble at this critical juncture.

However, in this carnival hall that seemed to set the air ablaze, there was one place that stood out from the crowd.

In a dark corner of the high platform, Jhin, the "Wildfire," sat alone quietly on a protruding rock.

He was completely wrapped in black leather clothing, his black wings behind him were slightly folded, and his eyes behind the mask were cold and clear.

He did not participate in the banquet below, but instead used a clean white cotton cloth to methodically and gently wipe the gleaming sword in his hand.

Just then, a series of light and hurried footsteps came from behind.

The Beasts Pirates' intelligence officer, who was responsible for coordinating information from all sides, walked quickly to King's side with a stack of documents in his hand.

Baohuang bowed slightly and reported to Jin an anomaly he had just discovered:

"Brother Jin, there's something strange."

"According to the original schedule, I just tried to contact the Great Serpent City of the Flower Capital."

"I want to confirm with General Orochi one last time the exact time he will be leading his entourage to Onigashima for the banquet, as well as the number of people accompanying him."

"but……"

The royalist shook his head, somewhat confused:

"For some reason, all the encrypted Den Den Mushi calls made to the Flower Capital Castle only returned a cold busy tone."

After several attempts, a communication connection could not be established.

Upon hearing this news, Jin paused slightly in the act of wiping his sword.

He slowly turned his head, his brows furrowing deeply beneath the mask.

He is the strongest and most meticulous first mate of the Beasts Pirates.

His keen intuition, typical of top-tier experts, subtly detected a hint of something amiss.

To ensure the absolute safety of Wano Country, King placed his sword across his lap and asked the royalist in a low voice:

"Has the giant snake gone missing?"

"What about Kanjuro, who's been lurking among the remnants of the Kozuki clan?"

"Has that guy sent back any valuable intelligence lately?"

Upon hearing this question, Baohuang hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a newly prepared intelligence report from his pocket, nodded, and replied:

"Ah, about that, I did receive a message from Kanjuro about painting birds from the outside world not long ago."

"Because this matter is of great importance, I haven't had a chance to report it to you yet."

Baohuang handed the paper to Jin, pointing to the ink writing on it and saying:

"The message on the painted bird was very simple—'The Straw Hat Pirates alliance has now assembled and is about to pass through the thick fog and officially enter the territorial waters of Wano Country.'"

However, neither the arrogant Jhin nor the royalist in charge of intelligence...

They never dreamed that this top-secret message, passed back by an insider, was actually an intelligence trap casually set by Viktor.

That bird painting was indeed done by Kanjuro.

But that perfect actor had already suffered Victor's mental torment, and his subconscious had been forcibly rewritten.

Kanjuro is now nothing more than an intelligence puppet who periodically transmits false information to Onigashima according to Viktor's wishes.

This piece of news, which was partly true and partly false, directly led to a serious misjudgment by the Beast Pirates' higher-ups regarding the Straw Hat crew's current whereabouts.

Looking at the note that said the Straw Hat crew "had just begun preparing to enter Wano Country," they saw...

Jin's heart, which had been slightly tense, finally relaxed.

He nodded slightly, his expression beneath the mask returning to its usual coldness.

Since the Straw Hat Pirates, who are qualified to be enemies, haven't even stepped into the borders of Wano Country yet.

The Flower Capital, Orochi City, located deep within the Inner Sea, was naturally unlikely to encounter any substantial danger.

He sheathed his sword and casually brushed aside the topic.

The reason why Orochi couldn't be contacted was probably because the lecherous and debauched general was indulging in the company of a courtesan on the eve of the Fire Festival, getting drunk and thus too lazy to answer the Den Den Mushi.

Caught off guard, the second-in-command of the Beasts Pirates lowered his guard.

Jhin stood up from the platform and walked to the edge of the square below.

He glanced at Queen, who was still frantically twisting his body on the stage, and casually told him the false news that the Straw Hat crew was about to arrive.

On stage, the music paused slightly.

After hearing what Jhin said, Quinn didn't feel nervous at all. Instead, he grinned and opened his mouth, which was full of cigars.

He exhaled a large puff of smoke and let out a wild, nonchalant laugh:

"Hahaha! Jhin, are you kidding me?"

"Are those sea bastards only getting to the bottom of the waterfall now?"

Quinn waved his thick mechanical arm and shouted loudly at the thousands of reveling pirates below the stage:

"My men! Did you hear me?"

"That Straw Hat Pirates gang, who's been making waves lately, are about to deliver themselves to our doorstep!"

"I can't wait to go and teach them a lesson!"

"What utter bullshit about a fifth emperor!"

"On this vast ocean, only our Boss Kaido is the strongest monster!!"

"Ooooooo! Invincible among beasts! Long live Boss Kaido!!"

The gifted and pirates below the stage erupted in even more fervent cheers.

The "Six Sky Soldiers" sitting in the front row of the banquet also let out a sneer full of contempt.

"Hmph, a few rookie pirates who have just emerged in the New World dare to set their sights on Wano Country?"

"That's right. As long as they dare to set foot on the Tongtian Waterfall in Wano Country, they won't even need Kaido to take action."

"Our Beasts Pirates' outer defensive line alone could easily tear that little boat to shreds!"

Arrogance and a severe information gap led the entire Ghost Island to descend into an even more frenzied and revelry, oblivious to the impending doom.

The clinking of wine glasses and the sounds of revelry echoed endlessly.

However, this was accompanied by increasingly frenzied laughter in the hall.

The atmosphere was desolate in the dark cave deep within Ghost Island, where ordinary crew members were strictly forbidden from approaching.

The damp air was filled with a musty smell.

On the cold, solid stone wall hung several sea stone chains, thicker than an adult's thigh.

At the end of the chain, a tall, curvaceous figure was tethered.

Yamato, Kaido's biological daughter, was sitting cross-legged on the cold, muddy ground with a carefree attitude.

She completely ignored the two heavy bomb handcuffs on her wrists and showed no interest in the faint sounds of revelry coming from above.

By the dim, flickering light of a lamp in the corner, she held in her hands a worn-out nautical logbook with frayed edges and yellowed pages.

On the cover of that secret diary that holds countless legendary stories, five powerful characters are boldly written: "Kozuki Oden's Travelogue".

Yamato's bright eyes sparkled with an endless longing for freedom in the outside world.

She stretched out her long, slender, fair fingers and gently stroked the ancient words in the diary that recorded the vast ocean.

Listening to the faint sounds of discussion about "Straw Hat Boy" coming from above.

However, the image of that late night four years ago involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

That young pirate man who wielded blazing flames, fought fiercely with him on this ghost island, and then sat on the rooftop with him, talking about their dreams.

Yamato touched the cold handcuffs on his wrists, and a slow, expectant smile crept onto his lips beneath the mask.

She looked up at the dark crevice in the rock above, and murmured expectantly:

"Ace's younger brother..."

"Is that guy named Luffy finally coming?"

Yamato blinked, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and added to himself:

"Now that Luffy's here... will Ace come along this time too?"

"This is really something to look forward to..."
