One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

The inner sea of ​​Japan.

The clouds, which had been relatively calm, suddenly began to churn violently like boiling seawater.

Rumble—!

Thick bolts of purple lightning tore through the dark sky, illuminating the square island below, which resembled a giant ghost head, with its light flickering.

A fierce wind howled in from the distant sea.

Inside Onigashima, beneath the enormous skull dome, thousands of Beast Pirates members are celebrating in advance of the upcoming Fire Festival.

The hall was filled with drinks, barbecue, and boisterous laughter.

In the center of the steel stage, the billboard "Plague" Quinn is swinging his long golden braid, his obese body swaying to the music.

"Oh, oh, oh! My little ones!"

"Put all your hands up!"

"Whoever falls first tonight will be the most useless coward in the Beasts Pirates!"

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!"

Thousands of wine bowls were raised at the same time.

However, just as the band was about to play the next beat...

A terrifying and domineering aura, like a mountain pressing down, descended from the sky without warning.

"Snap!"

Wine jars and wooden tables in the banquet hall shattered in pieces.

Many weaker pirates rolled their eyes back and collapsed to the ground foaming at the mouth before they could even see what had happened.

Quinn's comical smile froze instantly.

He suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes behind his gold sunglasses.

"This aura..."

"Boss Kaido is back!"

The words fell.

"roar--!!"

A deafening dragon roar came from outside the heavy skull dome.

The next second, the dark clouds looming in the sky were torn apart by a brute force.

A massive, azure dragon head, as large as a mountain, slowly emerged from the raging thunder and storm.

The azure dragon did not hover in the air.

He gathered his body and plummeted straight towards the central square of Ghost Island like a meteorite.

boom--!

With a deafening roar, the entire ghost island shook violently.

A violent shockwave swept out, overturning all the braziers and tables around the square.

Amidst billowing smoke and dust, the enormous dragon's body rapidly contracted.

A moment later, Kaido, a burly man with menacing horns, slowly emerged from the deep pit, carrying his spiked club "Eight Precepts".

Quinn and the Flying Six, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, were originally prepared to greet them loudly.

But after seeing Kaido's gloomy face, everyone's voices caught in their throats.

An eerie silence fell over the entire central square.

Only Jhin, the "Firestorm," stepped forward.

"Mr. Kaido."

What happened in the world?

Quinn stood to the side, holding back for a long time, before finally asking cautiously:

"Boss Kaido, have you killed Big Mom and avenged Jack?"

Upon hearing this, Kaido tightened his grip on the Eight Precepts.

He thought of the old woman who could only breathe with the help of a machine, and his face grew even more pale.

"Lingling is useless now."

Kaido said coldly:

"There is no point in killing an old woman lying in a hospital bed who can't even hold a weapon."

Quinn shrank back, not daring to ask any further questions.

King, however, keenly sensed that Kaido's trip to Whole Cake Island had not been as pleasant as he had imagined.

The lingering killing intent within him only grew more suppressed and volatile because he couldn't find a truly worthy enemy to fight.

Kaido, carrying the Eight Precepts, looked around.

"Where are those two brats from the Straw Hat Pirates now?"

"Have they entered Wano Country?"

Jin didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to the side.

"Summon the royalists."

Soon, the royalist, dressed in a paper-patterned robe, strode to the square, carrying a newly compiled intelligence report.

"Lord Kaido."

"According to the information we have so far, the Straw Hat Pirates and the remnants of the Kozuki clan have only just finished assembling."

"The rebels remain near Udon and have not yet launched a formal attack on the Flower Capital or Onigashima."

The royalist pulled out a piece of paper with a bird painting that had been brought back from the intelligence.

"This is the latest news that Kanjuro sent back not long ago."

He said that although the rebel army had barely managed to gather 5,000 men, the composition of the army was mixed, food was insufficient, and the ships were not fully prepared.

"It will take them at least a few more days before they can possibly attack Ghost Island."

"Everything is normal in the Flower Capital at the moment, and Kanjuro is still lurking around Momonosuke."

After hearing this information, the tension on Quinn's face quickly dissipated.

He grinned again and let out a carefree laugh.

"Hahahaha!"

"So you're still stuck on Udon!"

"A mere five thousand samurai, even if they all came to Onigashima, would only be fit to be entertainment during the Fire Festival!"

The Flying Six sitting nearby also showed expressions of disdain.

"Is the Straw Hat Boy's head really as valuable as the rumors say?"

"The fifth Emperor of the Sea? That's just a title hyped up by the newspapers."

Quinn even relit his cigar, saying nonchalantly:

"As for that coward Orochi, he's probably drunk again, lying in some room with the courtesan in his arms."

Jin did not agree.

He looked at the intelligence report in his hand, but the vague unease in his heart had not completely disappeared.

Just as Quinn was about to continue mocking him.

"boom!!"

Kaido suddenly swung the Eight Precepts and slammed them heavily onto the ground next to Queen.

A terrifying impact erupted instantly.

The newly built banquet platform, along with the steel stage behind it, was smashed to pieces by this blow.

Quinn's smile froze completely.

The pirates who were still whispering around them also shut their mouths instantly.

Kaido raised his head, his gloomy gaze sweeping over everyone.

"idiot!"

"Lingling was beaten into that half-dead state by those two brats you mentioned!"

"Doflamingo has lost."

"Jack is dead."

"They almost destroyed the entire Kingdom of Ten Thousand!"

"Yet you still treat them like a few newcomers to a new world?"

"The Straw Hat Pirates now possess the power to directly challenge the Four Emperors!"

"They're not brats who came to challenge the Beasts Pirates."

"But rather, an enemy that could potentially overturn the entire Oni Island!"

The square was completely silent.

Even the usually arrogant Flying Six dared not utter a word of rebuttal at this moment.

The information revealed by Perospero resurfaced in Kaido's mind once again.

The reason why Lingling suffered such serious injuries was not only due to the Straw Hat Boy's direct battle, but also directly related to that Crimson Lotus.

Kaido's gloomy expression was gradually replaced by excitement and ferocity.

"Leave that red-eyed brat to me."

"As for Straw Hat Boy..."

He swept his gaze over the six flying creatures, then grinned, revealing a gaping maw.

"Whoever can bring his head to me will be the new big boss!"

Upon hearing this, the fear in Fei Liubao's eyes quickly turned into excitement.

Quinn's expression, however, was rather unpleasant.

He suddenly felt that his position was becoming less secure.

Ignoring everyone's reactions, Jin reminded them in a deep voice:

"Mr. Kaido, we haven't been able to make direct contact with Orochi."

"Even if Kanjuro's intelligence is correct, I still recommend that we immediately dispatch an air force to the Flower Capital to confirm the situation."

Kaido did not agree immediately.

After a moment of silence, he glanced at the banquet hall and the pirates who were gathering.

"If those brats have really entered Wano Country, sending a large number of troops to the Flower Capital will only let them know in advance that Onigashima is prepared."

"The Fire Festival is the most opportune time to gather all forces."

Kaido made a decision quickly.

"The festival will proceed as scheduled."

"All the big billboards and the Flying Six have stayed on Ghost Island."

"Increase patrols at all ports and recall all the gifters and true fighters scattered throughout Wano Country."

"In addition, send a small number of scouts skilled in covert operations to the Flower Capital."

"No large-scale troop deployment is permitted without confirming the situation!"

"yes!"

Jin lowered his head and accepted the order.

Queen hurriedly directed his subordinates to rebuild the stage and clean up the banquet venue that Kaido had smashed with a single blow.

Kaido then climbed onto the not-yet-fully-repaired platform and grabbed a huge wine jar, as tall as an average person, with one hand.

"Glug! Glug!"

He tilted his head back and gulped down the spicy liquor.

Large amounts of alcohol flowed down his lips and chest.

"The Fire Festival continues!"

Kaido smashed the empty sake jar, raised the Eight Precepts high, and let out a roar that shook the entire Onigashima:

"Prepare all the troops, weapons, and supplies for Onigashima!"

"Since those brats want to challenge me, then let them come!"

"I will smash this so-called fifth emperor into the bottom of the sea in front of the entire Wano Country!"

After a brief silence.

Thousands of Beasts Pirates members erupted in deafening cheers once again.

"Long live Boss Kaido!"

"The Beasts Pirates are invincible!"

Quinn immediately ordered the band to resume playing.

Music, clinking glasses, and raucous laughter filled the skull dome once again.

However, after the warning just now, a subtle tension has crept into the revelry.

The embers in the shadows did not drink.

He continued to gaze in the direction of the Flower Capital, his brows furrowed tightly beneath the mask.

That unease doesn't seem to have disappeared.

……

Deep within Ghost Island, in a damp and dark cave

Yamato sat cross-legged on the cold ground, his wrists clasped with heavy bomb handcuffs.

She remembered the young pirate who had stormed Onigashima four years ago.

I remembered that night when the two of us went from fighting to sitting on the rooftop talking about our dreams.

At that time, Ace had told her with immense pride.

His younger brother Luffy will one day become a pirate freer than anyone else.

Yamato's lips gradually curved into a smile. The anticipation in Yamato's eyes grew even stronger.

"Now that Luffy has arrived in Wano Country..."

"Ace, will you come back and keep our promise?"

Just then, a series of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the cave.

"Boom!"

The heavy iron gate was pushed open from the outside.

Several gift-givers, carrying torches, entered the cave and commanded in a firm tone:

"Young Master Yamato!"

"Lord Kaido has returned to Onigashima."

"He discovered you weren't at the banquet and ordered the Flying Six to search for you!"

"Please come with us to the banquet hall immediately!"

Yamato glanced down at the bomb handcuffs on his wrists.

The handcuffs will explode the moment she tries to leave Ghost Island.

Countless past rebellions have failed because of these shackles.

But this time...

Luffy's arrival gave her renewed hope of breaking free from her cage.

Yamato closed Oden's nautical logbook and carefully tucked it into his bosom.

Then, she picked up the spiked club and slowly stood up.

"You want me to attend that bastard father's party?"

Looking at the Gifters waiting in ambush outside the cave, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Can."

"Perfect timing, I should go greet my guests."
