One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Boom boom boom boom—!

Dozens of shells ripped through the dark night sky and crashed into the dessert city on the outskirts of Totland.

Flames shot into the sky.

Buildings made of cakes, candies, and butter collapsed in sections during the explosion.

After several days of silence, the war alarms sounded again across the land.

"Enemy attack!"

"It's the Blackbeard Pirates!"

"Go and inform Whole Cake Island immediately!"

The defending forces, who had just suffered Kaido's attack and had not even been restored to their original formation, were met with the Blackbeard Pirates' long-planned multi-pronged attack.

Outer ports.

Bashas led his assault troops out of the artillery fire.

"Hahahaha!"

"Smash it all!"

He swung his thick arm and punched the center of the harbor.

The terrifying shockwave instantly overturned several warships that were not yet fully repaired, and burning wood chips and iron pieces fell like rain.

Before the ships could even raise their sails, they were sunk one by one by the Blackbeard Pirates' cannon fire.

On another island where a large number of wounded people had gathered.

Doc Q rode his sickly, skinny horse slowly through the crowded streets.

A strange, grayish-white smoke spread around him.

The defenders, shrouded in smoke, felt their limbs go weak and their heads spin. They couldn't even hold their weapons and collapsed to the ground in droves.

"Hehehe..."

"When the body is weak, illnesses always strike more fiercely."

Meanwhile, Lafitte had already quietly infiltrated the central hub of the Den Den Mushi in the world.

Under the influence of hypnosis, the soldier in charge of communications became dazed and personally severed all communication lines between Whole Cake Island and the surrounding islands.

Meanwhile, in a town that was organizing its defenses.

The officer in charge had just drawn his long sword.

The next second, a sharp sword pierced through his chest without warning.

Shiryu of the Rain's figure flashed through the air.

Even as blood gushed out, the surrounding soldiers still couldn't see where the enemy had come from.

The port was destroyed.

Communication is interrupted.

The commanders were assassinated one after another.

In a short period of time, the islands of the world were completely plunged into chaos as each fought its own battle.

……

Cake Castle, temporary command center.

Perospero, still recovering from his illness, sat at the head of the long table.

Half of his body was wrapped in bandages, and his hand holding the candy cane was still trembling slightly.

Smoothie, Cracker, and others also suffered serious injuries.

Even after hearing news of the Blackbeard's invasion, they still insisted on donning their armor and demanding to lead their troops into battle.

"Brother, let me go to the port."

Smoothie's face was pale, but her gaze was icy cold.

"Even if I only have one hand left, I can still cut off the heads of those invaders."

Perospero did not answer immediately.

He originally intended to rely on the complex terrain and remaining forces of Whole Cake Island to hold off the Blackbeard Pirates while waiting for the fleets of each island to complete their assembly.

But bad news kept coming in.

"Candy Harbour has fallen!"

"The Southern Fleet was attacked before it even set sail!"

"Contact has been lost for several islands!"

"The Homies are too slow to stop the Blackbeard Fleet!"

Finally, a soldier covered in blood fell into the hall.

"Lord Perospero!"

"Blackbeard's main fleet has broken through the outer waters and is heading straight for Whole Cake Island!"

Perospero's fingers gripped the table tightly.

It wasn't until this moment that he truly understood.

Blackbeard's return to Twilight was not merely for opportunistic looting.

That ambitious bastard wants to devour the whole of Totland!

"Damn Teach..."

"They pretended to form an alliance first, then came back to tear Mom apart when she was at her weakest."

"You filthy vulture!"

Just as the atmosphere in the temporary command room became tense, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Brin walked in quickly.

She still had bloodstains on her body from caring for the wounded, and her expression was more solemn than ever.

"Brother Perospero."

"I have something important to tell you."

Brin had previously been helping to treat the wounded and her younger siblings.

While reviewing the memories of several soldiers who had escaped, she discovered something extremely unusual.

The Blackbeard Pirates are not just plundering gold.

They are also purposefully searching for Devil Fruits, special races, historical documents, and people who can decipher ancient texts.

Brin closed the door tightly and lowered her voice.

"Blackbeard has obtained the rubbing of the historical text of the road signs that his mother kept."

Perospero's expression changed drastically.

How did you know?

"In a guard's memory, I saw Shiryu of the Rain enter the rubbings storage room."

Brin raised her hand to brush aside her long hair, revealing her hidden third eye.

"His return this time may not be solely driven by his desire for the wealth of all nations."

"I am very likely his target as well."

Perospero's pupils suddenly contracted.

Only at this moment did true panic appear on his face.

Nations can be lost.

Wealth can be stolen.

Even castles can be reduced to ruins.

But the remaining core members of the Charlotte family cannot all die here.

……

The sea off Cake Island.

Blackbeard stood at the bow of the "Sword of Gibbeck" and laughed loudly.

The surviving Homies leaped from the sea, attempting to capsize the ship.

Blackbeard simply raised his left hand.

"Dark acupoints!"

A thick, dark mass spread out from the deck.

A terrifying gravitational pull instantly seized the sea creatures, dragging them along with the waves into the unfathomable darkness.

Shells fired by the island's defenders rained down one after another.

Before it could even touch the ship, it was completely swallowed by darkness.

Blackbeard did not rush to charge himself.

He continuously ordered his ships to destroy fortifications and defenses, forcing the Charlotte family to expend their already limited forces.

Smoothie and Cracker barely managed to lead their troops to the coast.

The two repelled several assault teams in succession, but because they had been seriously injured by Kai, their breathing quickly became disordered and their wounds reopened.

The black-bearded man laughed even more wildly as he watched their pathetic resistance.

"Thief, hahaha!"

"They can't even stand properly, yet they think they can protect a country ruled by four emperors?"

"The Kingdom of Ten Thousand, founded by Lingling, is about to change hands!"

……

Cake Castle.

The outer defenses have fallen one after another.

Some members of the Charlotte family still advocated for a desperate defense.

"This is the country my mother built with her own hands!"

"We must never entrust the entire kingdom to Blackbeard!"

Perospero listened silently to the argument.

He was more unwilling to give up than anyone else.

But he had already witnessed Kaido's absolute power firsthand, and he knew that Blackbeard would never show mercy just because of their loyalty.

Continuing to hold out will only lead to the complete annihilation of the Charlotte family today.

Perospero suddenly raised his head.

"That's enough!"

The hall fell silent instantly.

"Abandon the outer islands."

"Younger siblings and seriously injured patients should be evacuated first."

"Bree opened the portal to the Mirror World, and Montor was responsible for transferring the family's most important data."

"Breen left with the first group of people."

"Smoothie and Cracker, lead the remaining officers who are still able to fight to cover the rear."

One family member couldn't help but ask:

"And what about Mom?"

"Are we going to leave our comatose mother to Blackbeard?"

Perospero remained silent for a long time.

Then, he gripped the candy cane tightly and said in a hoarse voice:

"Send your younger siblings away first."

"Mother……"

"I will personally bring them out."

……

Brulee quickly opened the entrance to the Mirror World in the castle's underground.

The young Charlotte family members and the wounded began to evacuate in batches.

But Brin did not enter the mirror.

She stood in front of the passageway, stubbornly shaking her head.

"I'm going to stay and help you move your mother."

"Shut up!"

This was the first time Perospero had rebuked her so angrily.

"The black-bearded man is most likely after your third eye!"

"If you fall into his hands, we'll not only lose a sister, but we might also be helping that bastard find Laugh Tale!"

Brin bit her lip hard.

In the end, she accepted the evacuation arrangement.

But instead of leaving immediately, she stayed by the mirror to help the frightened children.

The gunfire and cries made the younger siblings struggle.

Brin reached out and temporarily removed the horrific memories of explosions and death from their minds.

The children gradually quieted down and, under her guidance, entered the mirror world one by one.

"Don't be afraid."

"Just going to play hide-and-seek."

……

boom--!

The last line of defense at sea completely collapsed.

The Blackbeard Fleet's artillery fire landed directly on the outer walls of Cake Castle.

The entire castle shook violently.

Stones, candies, and ornate decorations kept falling from the dome.

Smoothie and Cracker led the remaining cadres to form the last line of defense in Castle Square.

next second.

A massive figure leaped off the Sword of Gibbek.

"boom!"

Black beard slammed heavily onto the center of the square.

A vast darkness spread from beneath his feet, engulfing the surrounding buildings, corpses, and shattered weapons.

He did not immediately pay attention to the Charlotte family executive in front of him.

Those eyes, hidden in the shadows, gazed straight into the depths of the castle.

Within the perception of Observation Haki.

There still exists an extremely weak, yet far larger, life force than anyone else.

Blackbeard grinned.

"What a mess."

Charlotte Linlin.

Inside the intensive care unit.

Perospero stumbled to the bedside.

"Unplug the device!"

"Immediately transfer Mom to the Mirror World!"

The doctors acted hastily.

However, the woman's body was so large that a regular mirror was simply not enough to allow her to pass through quickly.

The artillery fire outside is getting closer and closer.

The walls shook continuously, and fine dust fell from the ceiling.

Perospero grabbed the old woman's arm and called out to her repeatedly.

"Mother!"

"Wake up!"

"We must get out of here!"

But the queen, lying in her hospital bed, remained completely unresponsive.

Finally, Perospero seemed to have completely lost his strength and knelt down beside the hospital bed.

Tears streamed down his scarred face.

"Mother……"

"sorry……"

"The world cannot be defended."

"Please, wake up."

"If he doesn't wake up soon, my younger siblings will all be killed by Blackbeard..."

Boom—!

Another violent explosion was heard outside the castle.

The black-bearded man's extremely arrogant laughter drifted through the broken walls and faintly into the ward.

"Thief, hahaha!"

"Lingling!"

"I've come to take over your country!"

The moment those words were spoken.

The almost extinguished spirit lamp beside the hospital bed suddenly began to sway violently.

In the corner of the room, several Homies that had previously lost their vitality simultaneously raised their heads.

Beep beep beep beep—!

The life-monitoring instruments emitted a rapid, piercing beeping sound.

Perospero looked up in a daze.

Hospital bed.

The enormous, scarred hand was slowly clenching.

next second.

Charlotte Linlin suddenly opened her eyes, which had been closed for several days!

A weak yet still terrifying aura of Conqueror's Haki suddenly spread out from the ward.

The walls trembled.

Windows were shattered in large numbers.

The Queen's hoarse voice was like that of a wild beast awakening from its slumber.

"Who is it...?"

"Are you bullying my child?"
