One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

"You can keep fighting me."

"But how much longer can that city wait?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive cloud of flames surged wildly from around the dragon's body, and Oni Island, which was already approaching the Flower Capital, once again emitted a heavy roar.

The entire island seemed to have been pushed by an invisible giant hand, and its speed suddenly increased.

Luffy and Victor turned their heads to look into the distance almost simultaneously.

As night fell, the lights of the Flower City were no longer blurry.

The city, which had been ruled by Kurozumi Orochi for twenty years, was still immersed in the excitement of the Fire Festival.

One by one, sky lanterns slowly rose from the streets, rooftops, and riverbanks.

Some people write the names of their deceased relatives on lamps, hoping that the departed can rest in peace.

Some people held their children's hands, looked up at the lights rising into the sky, and hoped that their children could grow up safely and healthily.

They were unaware that death was descending from the sky.

Viktor closed his eyes, and his Observation Haki rapidly spread outwards.

A moment later, he opened his eyes again.

too close.

At the current speed, it will take at most half an hour for Onigashima to reach directly above the Flower Capital.

By then, regardless of whether they defeat Kaido or not, the entire city will be reduced to ruins by this floating island.

Everyone will be buried under the same dust.

Kaido did not rush to attack again.

A colossal azure dragon coiled among the dark clouds, looking down at the two figures on the dome with a cruel mockery in its eyes.

"Let's continue."

"If you want to defeat me, you'd better stay here."

He grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth that gleamed coldly in the lightning.

"But if we leave here, the people down below will still die."

Luffy gritted his teeth, and the Conqueror's Haki on his fists pulsed continuously.

But at this moment, he unusually did not rush out immediately.

Because for the first time, he realized that he didn't know what to do.

If they leave here, Kaido will be unstoppable, and all his companions on Onigashima will be in danger.

But if they stay here, the hundreds of thousands of people in the Flower Capital will surely die.

This is an open conspiracy.

It was laid bare before them, and they could not ignore it.

After a brief silence, Viktor suddenly spoke:

"Luffy, I'm leaving this to you."

Luffy suddenly turned his head

Viktor didn't look at him, but instead gazed at the increasingly clear lights in the distance.

Above the City of Flowers, the sky lanterns still rise slowly in the night wind, like a sea of ​​stars unaware of the impending danger.

"Someone has to deal with Ghost Island."

He paused.

"And right now, besides me, no one else can hold something this big."

Luffy opened his mouth, but did not immediately refute.

He knew Victor was right.

On the entire Ghost Island, the only person capable of attempting to stop the island from falling is indeed Victor.

But he also knew that Kaido was in even greater danger now than before.

In his Drunken Dragon Eight Trigrams state, Kaido can even simultaneously disrupt his own Observation Haki and Viktor's Sharingan judgment.

If Victor leaves, he will be left alone on this dome to face the world's strongest creature.

The night breeze blew the straw hat.

Luffy suddenly raised his hand to press down on the brim of his hat, his voice unusually low.

"Yes, Victor."

Victor turned his head to the side.

Luffy didn't look at him, but stared at Kaido, who was faintly visible in the clouds in the distance.

"Do you think I can defeat Kaido?"

Viktor was visibly taken aback upon hearing this.

Having known Luffy for so many years, this was the first time he had ever heard this idiot captain ask such a question.

That wasn't fear, nor was it retreat.

At this moment, Luffy finally realized that he carried on his shoulders not only the ambition to challenge the Four Emperors, but also the lives of the entire ship, the entire Wano Country, and countless people behind him who were unable to fight.

Viktor did not answer immediately.

Many images flashed through his mind.

That small, rocking boat in the East China Sea.

Alabasta is shrouded in yellow sand.

The flag that was burned on Judicial Island.

The bloodshed of the Marineford War.

The deep sea of ​​Fishman Island.

The birdcage in Dressrosa.

Along the way, this guy who always rushes to the front has created too many miracles that seem impossible to ordinary people.

He has lost, fallen, cried, and broken down.

But he never truly stopped.

Viktor suddenly smiled and patted Luffy on the shoulder.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this kind of question?"

Luffy was taken aback.

Viktor looked at Kaido in the clouds, his voice calm.

"Back in Donghai, I said that as long as you keep moving forward, I will cut down anyone who stands in your way."

"Crocodile is like that, Doflamingo is like that, and Big Mom is like that too."

"Now, there's only one left blocking the way."

The black blade pointed at the blue dragon in the sky.

"So, go and beat him to a pulp."

Viktor turned to look at Luffy, a smile playing on his lips.

"One Piece"

Luffy was stunned for a moment.

The next second, he grinned, revealing a smile that was all too familiar to him.

"Hehehe!"

"That's true!"

In that instant, the heaviness that had been weighing him down seemed to be completely shaken off.

Because Luffy figured it out.

Victor will go to hold back Ghost Island.

Your companions will continue fighting below.

And all he had to do was one thing from beginning to end.

Knock Kaido away.

Victor didn't say anything more, turned around and leaped off the shattered dome, his figure quickly disappearing among the raging winds and rubble below.

……

Inside Ghost Island.

More and more people finally noticed the anomaly.

The sloping ground, the constantly sliding wine barrels, and the ever-approaching lights of the Flower Capital all told them a terrible truth.

The ghost island is moving.

And it is moving towards the City of Flowers.

"That's... the City of Flowers?"

A warrior leaned against a broken stone pillar, the color slowly fading from his face.

"How is that possible? Isn't Ghost Island at sea?"

At the edge of the banquet hall, Nami stood in front of the broken window, looking at the lights that were now clearly visible in the distance, her fingers unconsciously clenching.

"This island is going to be smashed..."

Robin stood beside her, his expression equally solemn.

"If they fall, no one will survive."

In another corridor, Luo used the ROOM to continuously transfer the wounded and trapped warriors.

But when he saw the location of the Flower Capital, he paused briefly.

As a doctor, he knew better than anyone the consequences of such a fall.

That wasn't a battle.

It was a massacre.

Luo looked up towards the dome and whispered:

"Straw Hat in Charge, what are you planning to do?"

The outer side of Ghost Island.

Yamato led Momonosuke to a broken platform.

The strong winds almost blew people away.

Momonosuke leaned against the wall and looked down; the entire Flower Capital was now right in front of Onigashima.

The lights were so close that he could even vaguely see the sky lanterns rising during the fire festival.

Momonosuke's face turned completely pale.

"If we fall..."

"Everyone will die."

Yamato nodded heavily, then pointed to the large cloud of flames enveloping the bottom of Oni Island.

"The reason Kaido was able to support Onigashima is because of those things."

She turned to look at Momonosuke.

"And you are a dragon too."

Momonosuke staggered back, his voice shrill with fear.

"Impossible! I have no way of controlling that power!"

"I can't even decide when I'll become a dragon, how could I possibly support such a large island!"

Yamato grabbed his shoulder.

"Then let's learn!"

Her voice was more stern than ever before.

"Momonosuke, now is not the time to say you can't do it. Because no one but you can!"

Momonosuke stared at her blankly, his lips trembling, but he could no longer utter a word in rebuttal.

Just then, an astonishing surge of chakra suddenly erupted from beneath Onigashima.

Yamato and Momonosuke turned their heads to look at the same time.

……

Victor has reached the very edge of the lowest level of Ghost Island.

Below you are hundreds of meters in the air, in the distance is the brightly lit Flower Capital, and above you is the entire Oni Island pressing down like a mountain.

Standing there, Viktor realized more clearly just how enormous a monster Kaido was controlling.

Even the complete Susanoo appears insignificant in the face of this island.

Viktor was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath:

"How did Kaido, that madman, manage to put something like this into the sky?"

In the next instant, the Rinnegan was activated at full power.

The eternal kaleidoscope is spinning wildly.

He mobilized the Sage Body's power, the Nine-Tails' chakra, and the vast amount of chakra remaining in his body to their limits at the same time.

boom--!

Purple chakra surged into the sky.

The complete Susanoo rose from the ground, and a huge purple war god appeared below Oni Island, its wings spread and its arms suddenly pushed against the bottom of the sinking island.

Boom!!!

The entire ghost island trembled violently the moment they made contact.

Countless rocks broke off from the bottom of the island and fell like a reversed meteor shower.

Viktor felt an unimaginable weight pressing down on Susanoo's arms.

That wasn't some enemy's move, nor was it just a simple display of overwhelming power; it was a real island.

It is the weight of countless layers of rock, buildings, weapons, corpses, and people fighting together.

Chakra began to be consumed at an alarming rate.

The complete Susanoo emitted a roar of unbearable strain.

The first crack quickly appeared on the purple armor, followed by a second and a third.

At the same time, the rate at which Ghost Island descended was forcibly slowed down for the first time.

It's not a stop.

It's not about lifting it back to the sky.

But it did slow down.

Inside Ghost Island, countless people felt the tremor and looked up.

Then they witnessed a scene they would never forget.

A colossal purple war god is standing beneath Oni Island, using its bare hands to support the island that is about to plunge into the Flower Capital.

"That's Lord Victor!"

"He's holding up Ghost Island!"

"One person...holding up the entire island?"

The warriors were stunned into silence.

Nami covered her mouth, her eyes slightly red.

Robin stared silently at the enormous figure, his eyes unusually vacant.

Sanji leaned against the wall, smoking a cigarette, and whispered:

"That's exactly the kind of thing that red-eyed bastard would do."

Zoro braced himself with his sword, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"That guy always acts more like a captain than the captain does."

On the other side, Yamato and Momonosuke were also completely stunned.

Even Yamato, who had seen Kaido's Flame Cloud Island, couldn't help but gape at this moment.

"Are you kidding me...?"

"This guy is actually carrying the entire Wano Country on his shoulders."

Momonosuke stared blankly at the purple war god below that was supporting Oni Island, as if he had been nailed to the spot.

Victor is holding up the entire ghost island all by himself.

Even so, Ghost Island is still slowly sinking.

Because Victor is not Kaido.

He doesn't have Flame Cloud, nor can he distribute his power across the entire bottom of the island like a dragon.

He could only grit his teeth and bear it.

Yamato slowly turned his head to look at Momonosuke.

"Did you see that?"

"He's buying us time."

"Next, it's your turn."

Momonosuke clenched his fists tightly, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

He was still afraid.

I was so scared that my breathing was trembling.

But this time, he didn't look away.

Because he saw it.

Viktor is working desperately.

Luffy is challenging Kaido.

The samurai are fighting and bleeding.

Hiyori is in the Flower Capital, still guarding the country they must reclaim.

Everyone is taking responsibility.

Only I am still afraid.

At that moment, Momonosuke felt truly ashamed for the first time.

He slowly closed his eyes and began to try to feel the power of the artificial Devil Fruit within his body.

The air around the dragon's body trembled slightly.

A moment later, a wisp of faint flame cloud finally slowly emerged from beside him.

……

Ghost Island Dome.

Kaido fell back onto the broken roof.

With blue scales covering his arms and chest, he dragged the Eight Precepts as he walked step by step toward Luffy in his human-beast form.

The spiked club scraped across the ground, sending up blinding sparks.

There was no third person on this battlefield.

Kaido glanced at the Susanoo that was supporting Onigashima in the distance, a cruel smile appearing on his lips.

"It seems your first mate has made his choice."

Luffy pulled his straw hat down low and didn't turn around.

Because he knew that Viktor had entrusted everything to him.

And there is only one thing he needs to do.

Defeat Kaido.
