One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Rumble—!

The entire ghost island shook violently.

The violent tilt caused by the island's ascent instantly swept over the interior of Ghost Island.

In the banquet hall, uncollected tables, barrels, and weapons slid wildly down the floor to one side.

"Grab something!"

"Why is the ground tilted?!"

The samurai and the members of the Beasts Pirates, who were fighting, both lost their balance at the same time.

Large barrels of wine crashed into the crowd.

The heavy cannon detached from its mounting and tumbled wildly through the corridor, smashing several walls in its path to pieces.

The stone pillars on the outer layer of Ghost Island broke one after another.

A corridor connecting the upper and lower levels could no longer withstand the tremors and collapsed in the middle.

boom--!

A massive amount of rubble fell, completely blocking the road leading to the banquet hall.

The original formation of five thousand warriors was also forced to break apart in this sudden tremor.

East side of Ghost Island, middle-level corridor.

"Lord Momonosuke, watch out!"

A samurai rushed forward and shielded Momonosuke with his body.

The enormous wine jar whistled past their heads, crashing into the wall and exploding with a deafening roar.

The rich liquor flowed rapidly down the sloping ground.

Momonosuke scrambled to his feet, looking disheveled.

Of the dozen or so warriors who were originally responsible for protecting him, only six remain by his side.

The rest of the people were isolated on the other side when the corridor collapsed.

The Den Den Mushi was also smashed to pieces by the vibration.

They have completely lost contact with Kin'emon and the main force of the punitive expedition.

"Outside……"

Momonosuke, supporting himself against the wall, staggered to the broken window.

The sea surface that should have been below us has become increasingly distant.

Ghost Island is rising.

At the edge of the pitch-black night, a familiar cluster of lights came into view.

That's the city of flowers.

Tonight, a fire festival is being held there.

My younger sister, Hiyori, stayed in the city.

There are also countless elderly people, children, and civilians waiting for the return of the punitive expeditionary force.

Momonosuke quickly understood Kaido's plan.

"He wants to take Ghost Island..."

"It crashed into the Flower Capital?"

His face turned pale instantly.

If this island really does fall.

No one can survive in the Flower Kingdom.

Even Hiyori will die.

……

at the same time.

Inside Ghost Island, a one-eyed rat hiding in a corner is transmitting the scene from the east corridor back to the Emperor.

"Found it."

Baohuang stared at the child dressed in samurai attire in the center of the screen, a smile playing on his lips.

"Kozuki Momonosuke."

King, who was fighting Zoro at the high command, soon received the message through the Den Den Mushi.

clang--!

The saber clashed violently with the three swords.

Using his wings to create distance, Jin coldly commanded:

"Notify everyone who is temporarily unable to support Mr. Kaido."

"Proceed immediately to the middle-level corridor on the east side."

"Catch Kozuki Momonosuke."

Momonosuke is the nominal lord of the five thousand samurai.

He is also the only male heir of the Kozuki family to have publicly appeared in public.

If his head is severed in front of all the samurai, the morale of the punitive expeditionary force will surely suffer a severe blow.

The royalist immediately connected the radio telephones to all floors of Ghost Island.

A sharp sound echoed through the corridors and banquet hall.

"Kozuki Momonosuke has been found!"

"The target is located in the middle-level corridor on the east side!"

"Bring him to the banquet hall, dead or alive!"

The moment the broadcast started.

The nearby Gifters, True Fighters, and ordinary pirates all changed direction at the same time.

A large number of footsteps rapidly approached from several passageways.

The samurai beside Momonosuke's expression changed drastically.

"Our whereabouts have been exposed!"

"Lord Momonosuke, there's another secret passage ahead!"

"We'll hold off the enemy; you leave immediately!"

A samurai pushed open a hidden door in the corner of the wall.

A narrow, dark passage appeared before Momonosuke.

Once he gets inside, he'll have a chance to escape his pursuers.

Momonosuke took a step forward almost instinctively.

The increasingly clear footsteps in the distance made his body tremble uncontrollably.

The burning night from twenty years ago resurfaced in my mind.

Oden Castle was engulfed in flames.

The mother asked Kin'emon to help her escape.

Kaido transformed into a blue dragon and hovered in the sky.

At that time, all he could do was cry.

Now, it seems we're back to the same choice.

escape.

Let the others stay behind to protect you.

but.

The words Hiyori had spoken before setting off suddenly echoed in Momonosuke's ears.

Only those who have truly witnessed the blood and sacrifices Wano Country made for freedom can understand this.

Only he has the right to decide the future of this country.

Momonosuke stopped in his tracks.

"Momonosuke-sama?"

He was still afraid.

My legs are still trembling.

Even the fingers gripping the knife handle couldn't stay steady.

This time, however, he did not enter the secret passage.

Momonosuke slowly drew the short sword from his waist, turned around, and stood beside the wounded samurai.

"I will not leave."

"Lord Momonosuke, you are no match for them!"

"I understand!"

Momonosuke's voice trembled, but he did not back down.

"But what if I run away alone again..."

"You will all die here to protect me."

The stone gate in front of them shook violently.

boom!

The first crack appeared in the center of the door panel.

"The person is inside!"

"Break it open!"

The stone gate was struck again.

The samurai exchanged glances, then silently gripped their swords and stood in front of Momonosuke.

boom--!

The heavy stone door was smashed open from the outside.

Dozens of Gifters and members of the Beasts Pirates emerged from the smoke and dust.

"Catch Momonosuke!"

The guards drew their swords in response.

Before they could rush out, a tall figure broke through the wall from the side.

The heavy spiked club, accompanied by a whistling wind, crashed down!

"Thunder—"

"Gossip!"

boom--!

The Gifter at the forefront, along with several pirates behind him, was blasted away head-on by the spiked club.

A violent impact swept through the entire corridor.

The pursuers, like debris struck by a giant wave, crashed through several stone walls in succession.

Momonosuke looked up in a daze.

Long white hair danced in the smoke and dust.

Two horns extend backward from the top of the head.

A thick shimenori rope was tied around his waist.

Yamato, carrying a spiked club, stood between him and all the enemies.

All that remained on her wrist were metal fragments left from the forced destruction.

The explosive handcuffs that had bound her for years had been casually smashed by Viktor.

Yamato was finally able to unleash his power without any restraint.

"You must be Kozuki Momonosuke, the son of Kozuki Oden?"

Momonosuke looked at the two horns on her head and the spiked club in her hand.

A terrifying thought instantly surfaced.

"Who are you……"

"Kaido's child?!"

The surrounding warriors' expressions changed drastically, and they all drew their swords.

"Protect Lord Momonosuke!"

Why is Kaido's daughter here?

Yamato did not turn around, nor did he rush to defend himself.

She simply held the spiked club horizontally in front of her and looked at the pursuers who had regrouped at the end of the corridor.

"I am indeed Kaido's daughter."

"But that doesn't mean..."

"I must become his companion."

Momonosuke still couldn't believe it.

Yamato seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned his head to look at him seriously.

"And besides, I am Kozuki Oden!"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Momonosuke stared blankly at her.

Several breaths passed before he finally came to his senses.

"What are you talking about?!"

The fear was temporarily suppressed by a genuine anger.

Momonosuke gripped his short sword and shouted:

"My father is dead!"

"He died at Kaido's hands while protecting Wano Country!"

"How could you possibly be my father!"

"You're not Kozuki Oden at all!"

Yamato was stunned.

In the past, whenever she revealed that she was Kozuki Oden, others either thought she was crazy or immediately picked up their weapons.

She never cared.

In her view, becoming Oden meant getting rid of Kaido, living freely, and opening up Wano Country.

But this child in front of me is different.

He was the true son of Kozuki Oden.

The name he casually adopted was that of Momonosuke and Hiyori's truly lost father.

After a brief silence.

For the first time, Yamato abandoned his matter-of-fact tone.

"Feel sorry."

Momonosuke and the surrounding samurai were both taken aback.

Yamato looked ahead again.

"At least for now..."

"I am just someone who wants to fulfill Oden's last wish."

She did not completely deny her past beliefs.

But the name she had called countless times now held a different weight in her heart for the first time.

"We've found them!"

"Lord Kaido said that Lord Yamato must also be captured!"

More members of the Beasts Pirates poured in from both sides of the passageway.

Yamato stretched his shoulders.

"You all step back."

"Leave this to me."

A real fighter transformed into a giant wild boar, smashing through the walls along the way and charging head-on.

Yamato did not retreat an inch.

The spiked club was blasted upwards from below.

boom!

The multi-ton wild boar was thrown into the air, its massive body crashing into the ceiling before slamming heavily into the crowd behind it.

A dozen or so tax collectors rushed in from the side.

Yamato suddenly turned around.

A powerful aura of dominance suddenly emanated from his body.

Ordinary pirates rolled their eyes back and collapsed in droves.

The remaining enemies had just rushed through the dust when Yamato crouched down and accelerated.

The spiked club was wrapped in a dark, domineering aura.

She imitated the techniques created by Kaido, striking through the corridor like lightning.

Boom boom boom—!

All the enemies blocking their way were blasted away one after another.

Yamato smashed another supporting stone pillar with his club.

The rock strata above crashed down, completely blocking the main road leading here.

The roars of the pursuers were cut off behind the rubble.

Momonosuke stood behind her, staring blankly at her retreating figure.

Yamato is Kaido's daughter.

He used the Haki and spiked club taught to him by Kaido.

Even their fighting style is extremely similar to that monster.

But her spiked club always stood between her and her enemies.

Yamato did not ask Momonosuke to believe her.

"Why?" With the pursuers temporarily halted, Momonosuke finally asked, "Why are you helping me?"

Yamato picked up the spiked club.

"Because of Ace."

Momonosuke was taken aback.

"Several years ago, Ace came to Wano Country."

"He told me about the outside world, and he also told me that he had a younger brother who was always getting into big trouble."

A hint of nostalgia appeared on Yamato's face.

"I originally thought that Ace would return to Onigashima one day."

"We'll challenge Kaido together, and then leave this island."

"Later, I learned from the newspaper that he participated in the Battle of Marineford and that he ultimately survived."

"But even today."

"The first person to arrive at Onigashima is still Luffy."

Another violent roar came from above the dome.

Gravel kept falling from the cracks in the ceiling.

Yamato looked up.

"Ace always believed that his younger brother would become a great pirate."

"Right now, Luffy is up there fighting Kaido for this country."

"So I also want to do something that I can do."

The wariness in Momonosuke's eyes lessened slightly.

But he still kept a straight face and said:

"Even so, you can no longer call yourself Father."

Yamato's expression froze.

After a moment, she looked away somewhat awkwardly.

"We'll discuss this later."

Rumble—!

Ghost Island was violently shaken again.

Yamato led Momonosuke to the outside of the corridor.

Beyond the broken walls, the sea was no longer visible.

The entire ghost island rose completely into the night sky.

Below lies the land of Wano Country shrouded in darkness.

The lights of the Flower Capital in the distance are becoming clearer and clearer as Oni Island advances.

Momonosuke looked down at the bottom of Onigashima.

Large, fiery clouds are enveloping and supporting the entire island.

"What is that?"

"Flame Cloud".

Yamato replied:

"Kaido can transform into a blue dragon and also create these fiery clouds."

"It was by relying on the Flame Cloud that he managed to lift Ghost Island off the sea."

"As long as Kaido doesn't stop, Onigashima will keep flying towards the Flower Capital."

Momonosuke gazed at the approaching lights, his voice filled with despair.

"What should we do then?"

"How can we stop this island?"

Yamato did not visit the Flower Capital.

Instead, he turned to look at Momonosuke.

"Kaido is able to create flame clouds because he can transform into a dragon."

"And you are a dragon too."

Momonosuke's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"No, impossible!"

He hurriedly backed away.

"What I ate was merely a failed artificial Devil Fruit!"

"I can't even control when I transform!"

"It's even more impossible for them to support such a large island!"

Yamato did not force him to transform into a dragon immediately, nor did he offer meaningless words of comfort such as "You can definitely do it."

She simply raised her spiked club and pointed it at the churning clouds of flame below Ghost Island.

"Then let's start looking at it carefully from now on."

"Remember how they came about."

"And how did they hold up this island?"

Momonosuke swallowed hard.

Yamato's voice remained unwavering.

"Because when Kaido falls—"

"This island may only be left to you."

Momonosuke could barely breathe.

The weight of a ghost island.

The lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the City of Flowers were lost.

How could it possibly be handed over to me?

"What...what kind of joke is this...."

"With Lord Victor and Lord Luffy here... I..."

Yamato did not continue to offer comfort.

Momonosuke will have to face this choice sooner or later.

Yamato, carrying a spiked club, walked at the very front of the group.

"Come with me."

"I know of a more spacious outer platform."

"There, Momonosuke can see the flaming clouds clearly and can also try to transform into a dragon if necessary."

Momonosuke glanced back at the lights of the Flower Capital.

The sun is still there.

The people who released sky lanterns for them were also there.

He gripped the dagger tightly.

Then, with trembling legs, he followed Yamato's steps.

Just then.

Suddenly, a chorus of agonizing screams erupted from the lower levels of Ghost Island.

"Ahhhhh!"

"It's so cold!"

"My body is out of control!"

A biting chill spread rapidly from the banquet hall along the corridor.

One after another, plague bombs prepared in advance by Quinn exploded in the crowded throng.

Whether they are samurai from Wano Country or members of the Beasts Pirates.

If hit by a bullet, the skin will freeze quickly.

Their bodies gradually swelled, their eyes lost their reason, and they turned to pounce on the person closest to them.

Temporary medical area.

Chopper suddenly raised his head.

Seeing those figures going berserk in the cold air, his face instantly turned extremely ugly.

In the radio telephone snail.

Quinn's arrogant laughter echoed throughout the entire Ghost Island.

"Mwahahaha!"

"Since everyone is gathered here—"

"Then let's all become ice demons!"
