One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha
Chapter 431 The Dark Tide Lands! Five Samurai Approaching Onigashima
Night fell over the Inland Sea.
Thick, dark clouds obscured the moonlight, turning the sea a deep, somber black.
In the distance, Ghost Island, shaped like a giant demon's head, remains brightly lit.
Inside the skull dome, the feast of the fire festival continues.
The band's frenzied music, the clinking of glasses, and the pirates' raucous laughter could be faintly heard from a great distance.
"Another cup, please!"
"Whoever falls first today is the most useless piece of trash!"
"Long live Boss Kaido!"
Inside the Oni Island intelligence room.
Baohuang placed a piece of intelligence that had just been delivered by Hua Niao on the table.
"This is the last message Kanjuro sent back."
"Straw Hat Luffy and Eustass Kid have clashed, and the two sides are almost at odds."
"Given their current state, it's unlikely they'll launch an attack anytime soon."
After hearing this, the last trace of tension on the faces of the guards completely disappeared.
Although there has been no clear news from the Flower Capital, no one has also requested assistance.
In their view, if Orochi Castle had really been attacked, that cowardly general would have already cried out to Lord Kaido for help.
"As expected, they were just a motley crew hastily put together."
"I thought there really would be enemies tonight."
"With Kaido back, who would dare attack Onigashima?"
There was no increase in the number of troops patrolling the perimeter.
The pirates responsible for sea patrols even started taking turns returning to the watchtower to drink.
Only Jin stood atop the skull dome, gazing in the direction of the Flower Capital, his eyes fixed on it for a long time.
The giant snake has been missing for far too long.
Even though Kanjuro's reports showed nothing unusual, the unease that lingered in my heart did not disappear.
"Alert all outer outposts."
Jin coldly commanded:
"If any vessel appears in the main channel, sound the alarm immediately."
"yes!"
The garrison quickly obeyed the order.
But both Jin and Baohuang subconsciously focused their attention on the main waterway that the expeditionary force would inevitably pass through when it launched a normal attack on Onigashima.
Nobody noticed.
In the reef area behind Ghost Island, shrouded in thick fog year-round, a massive fleet is silently approaching.
……
"Turn the rudder half a turn to the left!"
"Third ship, slow down! Don't get too close!"
"The current ahead will suddenly become very strong, everyone hold on tight to the hull!"
Nami stood at the very front of the flagship, using the dim light obscured by the fabric to quickly compare the old sea chart in her hand.
On either side of the fleet were towering, steep, dark rock walls.
Numerous jagged reefs lie hidden beneath the sea surface.
The water flow constantly pounded against the narrow channel, and the slightest deviation could cause the entire ship to be torn apart by sharp reefs.
This is the secret route used by Kurozumi Orochi to transport weapons, contraband, and special tributes to Onigashima.
Aside from Orochi himself, only Kyoshiro and a few close confidants knew of its existence.
Denjiro stood beside Nami, pointing to a blurry crevice in the thick fog ahead.
"Passing through there, you can reach the cave port behind Ghost Island."
"However, this waterway has not been used on a large scale for many years, and the location of the seabed reefs may have changed."
"Leave it to me."
Nami did not look up.
She felt the night breeze and the current of the water while constantly adjusting her course.
All five thousand warriors were hidden in the shadows of the cabins and decks.
No one lit a torch.
No one sounded the war drums.
Even weapons and armor were wrapped in layers of cloth beforehand to prevent any collision noises.
The entire fleet, like a long sword hidden in the darkness, approached the back of Onigashima inch by inch along the narrow waterway.
Under the sea.
The polar diving vessel has already reached the exit of the secret passage.
Luo stood in front of the periscope, observing the defenses on the shore.
There is a small watchtower to the right of the exit.
"The garrison numbered approximately eight."
"There are three other ships nearby that are responsible for transporting alcohol, each with a dozen or so pirates on board."
Bepo asked nervously:
"Should we take action directly, Captain?"
"No."
Luo lowered the periscope.
"If anyone manages to sound the alarm, our landing will be exposed."
He picked up the Den Den Mushi and transmitted the findings back to the flagship.
After listening to the report, Viktor looked up at the watchtower that was faintly visible deep in the fog.
"I'll go deal with the watchtower."
Luffy immediately came over.
"I'm going too!"
"No!"
"Please reconsider, Lord Luffy!"
Nami and Kin'emon spoke almost simultaneously.
Luffy's eyes widened.
Why?
Everyone watched him in silence.
If Luffy were to participate in the secret infiltration, the plan would likely turn into a direct assault before even reaching the watchtower.
Victor stepped to the edge of the ship's gunwale.
"Don't make a sound until I get back."
Luffy covered his mouth with both hands and nodded vigorously.
"Mmm!"
The next instant.
Victor's body had already left the deck.
Purple ripples flowed in the eyes of Samsara.
An invisible force pulled his body, silently sweeping across the dark sea and landing on the top of the watchtower.
Inside the tower, several pirates were complaining around a barrel of wine.
"Brother Jin is too cautious."
"Who will attack Onigashima when Kaido returns?"
"We can finish this jar before going on patrol!"
The group burst into laughter.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a figure had appeared in the shadows.
Victor's crimson pupils shifted slightly.
The illusion was activated instantly.
The smiles on the faces of the guards froze simultaneously.
Then everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
The observer at the top of the tower stood up, picked up a signal light, and sent a "all is well" signal to the nearby patrol boats.
at the same time.
Inside the polar diving vessel, Luo spread his palms.
"ROOM".
A translucent spherical space covers the nearby sea surface.
The guards on the transport ship were still raising their glasses to drink when, without warning, their bodies switched places with the wooden barrels in the submarine.
A dozen or so pirates appeared one after another inside the ship's cabin.
Before they could even scream, the Heart Pirates swarmed forward, gagged them, and pinned them to the ground.
The transport ships on the sea continued to rise and fall slowly with the waves.
The wine barrels and flags on the ship remained unchanged.
"We can dock now."
Upon receiving Viktor's signal, Nami quickly gave the order.
One by one, the warships passed through the thick fog and sailed into the cave harbor behind Ghost Island.
The samurai lowered their straw hats, gripped their sword hilts, and quietly landed on the island from the wooden planks that had been laid out.
Kin'emon, Kikunojo, Kawamatsu, and Denjiro, along with other Akazaya Nine, walked at the very front of the procession.
They gazed up at the massive skull dome of Ghost Island, their eyes filled with the hatred and fighting spirit suppressed for twenty years.
Momonosuke, however, hesitated to take a step.
He stood at the edge of the deck, looking at the island that seemed like a demon lurking in the darkness, his legs trembling uncontrollably.
twenty years ago.
It was the master of this island who defeated his father, burned down Oden Castle, and plunged the Kozuki family into the abyss.
Now, however, he is willingly stepping into Kaido's lair.
A hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.
Momonosuke turned around.
Luffy stood behind him, his usual playful expression absent.
"If you're afraid, then be afraid."
"We're already here anyway."
Momonosuke was stunned for a moment.
He looked towards the shore again.
Five thousand warriors are gathering in the darkness.
These people knew that death might lie ahead, yet they still resolutely set foot on Ghost Island.
Momonosuke gritted his teeth and gripped the short sword at his waist.
Then, he finally took a step and set foot on that cold land.
There was no cheering.
No one bowed to him.
Everyone silently made way for him, waiting for the young master of the Light Moon Sect to join the group.
After logging in.
Inside the cave, Victor unfolds a map of Ghost Island and makes final arrangements.
"Law led the Heart Pirates into the castle through the underground waterways, searching for a route that would lead directly to the core area."
"Kin'emon and Akazaya Nine are in charge of commanding five thousand samurai."
"Denjiro led a team to control the secret port, ensuring that the escape route was not cut off."
"The Straw Hat crew, acting as the breakthrough team, infiltrated the vicinity of the banquet hall through the side passage."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Victor's gaze finally landed on Luffy.
"Luffy, especially you."
"no problem!"
Luffy agreed without hesitation.
But the next second, his nose suddenly twitched twice.
The aroma of roasted meat wafted from the banquet hall down the corridor.
Luffy's eyes lit up instantly.
"Meat!"
Just as he was about to rush out, Sanji grabbed him by the collar.
"Luffy! You idiot, did you even hear what you just said?!"
Usopp and Chopper quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth.
"Ugh!"
The Straw Hat crew thus dragged the struggling captain and quietly entered the interior of Onigashima.
Under the skull dome.
Quinn remained standing in the center of the stage, swinging her long golden braid.
"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!"
"The banquet tonight is far from over!"
The clinking of glasses and the deafening laughter of the pirates were deafening.
Nobody realized it.
Five thousand warriors have crossed the sea defenses and entered the island.
In the dark passageway below the banquet hall.
A series of figures with swords at their sides were advancing silently.
They were only a few stone doors away from the core banquet area of the Beasts Pirates.
Deep within Ghost Island.
Yamato, carrying a spiked club, moved swiftly through the complex passageways, evading the search by the Flying Six and the Gifters.
Suddenly, she stopped walking.
Amidst countless deliberately suppressed footsteps, a voice came exceptionally clearly from afar.
"It smells so good!"
"There really is meat here!"
Immediately following was a chorus of angry curses from several people in hushed tones.
"Luffy, shut up!"
"Don't shout here!"
Yamato stood there, stunned.
After a brief moment of surprise.
She slowly tightened her grip on the spiked club, an irrepressible excitement surfacing in her eyes.
"Ace's younger brother..."
"You've finally arrived."
