One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

In that instant.

The warriors before me, covered in wounds and with faces twisted by hatred, seemed to momentarily overlap into another figure.

Wide, orange-red sleeves.

Long, jet-black hair.

And those two famous swords that had once truly cleaved his dragon scales.

Kozuki Oden!

"Kaido—!"

That roar, which had been gone for twenty years, seemed to explode in my ears once again.

Kaido's body reacted before his mind could process it.

The Eight Precepts suddenly rose up and blocked his way.

clang--!

Nine knives fell simultaneously.

The Haki wrapped around the blade didn't remain on the surface; instead, it pierced Kaido's defenses like sharp needles.

boom!

A powerful impact erupted on the high platform.

Kaido's massive body left the throne for the first time, smashed through the wall behind him, and flew straight through the skull dome to the highest point of Onigashima.

Gravel fell into the banquet hall like a torrential rain.

The pirates below looked up in terror.

The Red-Sheathed Clan did not pause for a moment.

Kin'emon was the first to rush out, stepping on the shattered platform.

"Chase after them!"

One after another, figures leaped out of the dome.

The brawl in the banquet hall continues.

Their revenge has been brought to the summit of Ghost Island.

Boom!

Kaido crashed heavily onto the skull-shaped roof.

The hard rock cracked outwards from his body.

After a while.

A large hand reached out from the rubble.

Kaido, carrying the Eight Precepts, slowly stood up.

Several clear knife wounds were left on his chest, shoulders, and arms.

Fresh blood flowed down the skin.

The injury is not serious.

This is enough to prove that these samurai's swords could break through his domineering aura and dragon scales.

Kaido glanced down at the blood, but instead of being angry, a nostalgic smile appeared on his face.

"Twenty years."

"You wretched creatures who cling to life, you finally dare to stand before me again."

Kin'emon gripped his swords with both hands, the tips pointing directly at Kaido.

"We have lived these past twenty years for this day."

"For Lord Oden."

"For the Wano Country you took from us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Red-Sheathed Clan dispersed.

They did not rush to attack, nor did anyone try to fight alone.

Twenty years ago, they fought together under Oden.

Twenty years later, that tacit understanding etched into their bones has not disappeared.

Raizo threw out several huge scrolls, which quickly unfurled in the air, blocking Kaido's line of sight and attack range.

Kawamatsu and Kikunojo approached Kaido from the left and right, their swords flashing as they slashed at his ribs and knees.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were bathed in moonlight filtering through gaps in the dark clouds.

The two quickly increased their speed and strength, directly restraining the Eight Precepts.

Denjiro and Ashura Doji did not rush to draw their swords.

They stared intently at the huge scar on Kaido's abdomen, searching for an opportunity to strike into the old wound.

Kin'emon remained standing in the center of the battle formation.

"To the right!"

"retreat!"

"Cut off his wrists!"

As he issued his commands, the Red Scabbards' offensive tactics constantly shifted.

None of them could possibly be a match for Kaido.

But when everyone's will, blade, and hatred come together, it seems to become a sharp blade that has been torn apart for twenty years.

now.

The knife was restored to its original state.

Clang clang clang—!

The sound of swords clashing echoed across the rooftop.

Kaido wielded the Eight Precepts, forcing several people back in succession.

But whenever he was about to give chase, a blade would immediately slash from the other side.

One wound after another appeared on his body.

Kaido's smile gradually widened.

"good!"

"Now that's more like what Oden's retainers should be like!"

With a burst of wild laughter, his enormous body suddenly swelled up.

Blue scales quickly covered his entire body.

In the blink of an eye, a colossal azure dragon, obscuring the sky, was already hovering above Ghost Island.

"roar--!"

The dragon's roar shattered the clouds.

Dense wind blades and lightning fell from the sky simultaneously.

The Red-Sheathed Clan quickly dispersed.

The blades, entwined with cherry blossoms, were swung out one after another, shattering the oncoming wind blades.

Rumble!

Lightning bolts rained down on the skull-shaped roof, blasting open one charred crater after another.

The Azure Dragon looked down.

The intense flames rapidly gathered deep within the giant mouth.

"Heat Breath!"

A pillar of fire, powerful enough to incinerate mountains, descended from the sky.

Before the terrifying heat had even subsided, the rooftops of Ghost Island had already begun to melt.

"Leave it to me!"

Kin'emon charged to the front amidst the flames.

He gripped the sword with both hands, and all of his Ryuo Haki converged on the blade.

"Foxfire Style - Flame Slash!"

A cold glint swept upwards.

The immense heat was forcibly cleaved in two by this single strike!

The sea of ​​fire split into two streams on either side of the Crimson Sheath members.

Kin'emon's robes were ignited by the intense heat, but his face showed no fear.

"Rush!"

The group stepped over the burning rooftops and charged once again toward the Azure Dragon in mid-air.

For the first time, Kaido's enormous dragon eyes truly lost their contempt.

This scene is all too similar to what happened twenty years ago.

Back then, Kozuki Oden, too, faced his heat and rushed into the sky without hesitation.

Kaido's massive dragon body tumbled in the clouds.

"It seems you have indeed inherited something."

"but--"

"This level of skill won't please me!!"

The Red Scabbards did not answer.

They knew very well that ordinary slashes could only leave shallow wounds on Kaido.

There is only one chance if you want to truly cripple this monster.

Kaido's abdomen.

That scar left by Oden, which has never disappeared in the past twenty years!

Kin'emon and Denjiro exchanged a glance.

Without needing further communication, everyone simultaneously understood each other's thoughts.

They poured the remaining Haki from their bodies into the blade without reservation.

The nine auras faintly connected at this moment.

Each person's posture was completely different from Oden's dual-sword style.

But the will they inherited converged into a single strike at this moment.

Kin'emon let out a furious roar that tore his throat apart.

"Oden's Two-Sword Style—"

"Peach Blossom Spring Ten Fists!!"

Nine sword lights erupted simultaneously.

They converged and intertwined in mid-air, eventually landing all over the huge scar on Kaido's abdomen.

Pfft—!

The old wounds that had been dormant for twenty years were torn open again!

Scalding dragon blood rained down from the sky like a torrential downpour.

"roar--!!"

The blue dragon let out its first truly painful roar.

The massive body lost its balance and crashed heavily onto the roof of Ghost Island.

Boom!

The entire skull dome shook violently from the impact.

In the banquet hall.

The samurai who were fighting the Beasts Pirates all raised their heads upon hearing the dragon's roar.

"Kaido is injured!"

"The Red Scabbards have wounded Kaido!"

"kill!"

The morale of the five thousand warriors instantly soared to its peak.

The Red Scabbards stood at the edge of the smoke and dust, panting heavily.

Their arms were trembling from the blow.

But seeing the blood gushing from Kaido's old wound, tears welled up in everyone's eyes.

Twenty years.

They finally managed to wound the monster that destroyed Wano Country once again with their own swords.

however.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

A burly figure rose again from the shattered roof.

Kaido has returned to human form.

He lowered his head and pressed his hand against the old wound that was still bleeding, but the excitement on his face was no longer there.

All that remained was a deep sense of disappointment.

"Very similar."

"For a moment just now, I really thought Oden had come back."

Kaido slowly raised his head.

"pity."

"You are not Oden after all."

He held tightly to the eight precepts.

Black and red, domineering lightning instantly covered the entire spiked club.

An aura several times more terrifying than before erupted, causing the skull roof to crack continuously.

"Only out of remembrance of the dead."

"You can't defeat me!"

Kaido's body changed again.

Muscle swelling.

Blue scales covered his arms and chest.

A thick dragon tail lashed out from behind.

Human-beast form!

The next instant, Kaido vanished from his spot.

boom!

Kawamatsu, who was at the forefront, was blasted away head-on by Hachisai before he could even see the movement clearly.

Raizo unfurled the scroll, attempting to absorb Kaido's lightning.

Kaido, however, shattered the scroll and the ninjutsu with a single blow.

Denjiro seized the opportunity and rushed towards his old wound.

"Too slow."

Kaido suddenly turned to the side.

The Eight Precepts struck Jiro's abdomen from below.

Blood spurted from his mouth, and his body plummeted toward the edge of the roof like a kite with a broken string.

The tide of battle turned completely in an instant.

Once they lost their rhythm of attack, the Red Scabbards were no longer able to withstand Kaido's absolute power.

One figure after another was blasted away.

Blood was spilled all over the roof of Ghost Island.

In the end, only Kin'emon remained standing.

His left arm was hanging limply, and the long knife in his hand was covered with cracks.

Despite his severe injuries, he still stood in front of all his companions.

"Still won't you give up?"

Kaido, carrying the Eight Precepts, walked step by step.

Kin'emon gripped his sword with both hands and let out a hoarse roar.

"I am—"

"Lord Kozuki Oden's retainer!"

He charged at Kaido again.

Kaido, expressionless, swung down the Eight Precepts.

boom!

The blade's momentum shattered with a deafening roar.

Kin'emon's body crashed heavily to the ground, and his blood quickly stained the rocks beneath him.

Kaido walked up to him and looked down at him.

Loyalty deserves praise.

"But what's the point of you persisting for twenty years?"

"Oden is dead."

"The Kozuki family will fail again."

Kin'emon's mouth was full of blood.

But upon hearing this, he managed a weak laugh.

"We never thought..."

"I can cut off your head with just my own sword."

Kaido frowned slightly.

Kin'emon raised his head and looked down at the still chaotic battlefield below Onigashima.

"We have lived to this day."

"Just to make this war..."

"Entrust it to those who can bring dawn."

Kaido suddenly looked up.

A massive slash tore through the clouds above.

Zoro stepped on the falling pebbles and was the first to leap onto the roof of Onigashima.

Followed by.

The pale blue space unfolded rapidly.

"ROOM".

Luffy, Victor, and Law all appeared on the rooftop battlefield at the same time.

They stood between the fallen Akazaya Nine and Kaido.

Luffy glanced down at Kin'emon, who was covered in blood.

The last trace of a smile on his face vanished completely.

He slowly raised his head.

A dark, domineering aura began to flow through his clenched fist.

"Next."

"It's our turn."

Kaido gazed at the new generation before him, and after a brief silence, an excited and ferocious smile reappeared on his face.

"Straw Hat Boy!"
