One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

After news of Kaido's defeat spread throughout Onigashima, cheers that had been suppressed for twenty years nearly overturned the wilderness.

The Beasts Pirates, having lost their captain, completely collapsed, with many pirates throwing down their weapons and kneeling on the ground.

Those few who still wanted to resist were quickly subdued by Denjiro and his samurai.

On the other side, Viktor finally released Susanoo.

The nine giant golden-red tails slowly dissipated, and the Nine-Tails' chakra returned to the sealing space.

In the instant he lost his support, his body swayed slightly, and he could only stab Qiu Shui into the ground to barely stabilize himself.

"If you dare to stubbornly resist like that again, I'll slap you into the sea first."

The Nine-Tails' discontented voice came from the depths of its consciousness.

Victor didn't retort as usual.

His Rinnegan remained fixed on the enormous crater pierced by the Monkey God Spear in the distance, his gaze unwavering even after the war ended.

Other powerful figures could no longer sense Kaido's presence.

However, in the eyes of Samsara, a faint but tenacious life force still remains deep underground.

The heartbeat had almost stopped, yet it never truly disappeared.

Nine-Tails clearly noticed this as well.

"That monster is still alive."

Kaido's bones, internal organs, and Haki were all shattered by Luffy's final punch, making it impossible for him to continue fighting for a short period of time.

However, the Azure Dragon Fruit is still working, and the life force of the Mythical Zoan species is struggling to keep its heart beating and trying to repair its already broken body.

This process may take several months, or it may take several years.

But as long as Kaido is not truly dead, there is a possibility that he may reopen his eyes.

Wano Country was unable to imprison the Four Emperors after their restoration.

If Kaido were handed over to the World Government, they would only turn him back into experimental material and a weapon of war.

This war must not leave such a legacy.

"Red Lotus is in charge."

Luo dragged his injured body to his side. After the ROOM covered the deep pit for a moment, his expression also became solemn.

"There is indeed a heartbeat underground, but it is very weak."

Luo glanced at Viktor's pale face and reminded him:

"In your current state, you probably wouldn't even be able to handle an ordinary vice admiral."

"Kaido has already lost."

Viktor looked at Luffy, who was receiving treatment in the distance, and spoke calmly.

"He is not an enemy now, but a potential threat that must be dealt with."

Luo was silent for a moment, then asked, "Should we tell the Straw Hat Master?"

Victor shook his head.

Luffy is responsible for defeating the enemies that stand in his way.

He wouldn't lay a hand on a loser who was already powerless to resist, nor should he be the one to make that decision.

Viktor drew his sword, Autumn Water, its black blade gleaming coldly in the last darkness before dawn.

"He has done what the captain was supposed to do."

"The mate will take care of the rest."

Luo took a step forward.

"I'll go down with you."

"No need."

Even if Kaido is on the verge of death, he may still launch a counterattack at the last moment.

More importantly, this was not an execution that was worth watching.

Victor walked down into the crater created by the Ape God Spear.

The surrounding rock strata were completely broken, and occasionally a boulder blocked his way. He used his Autumn Water to cut through it and continued to approach the faint heartbeat.

His chakra was almost depleted, and his legs were becoming increasingly heavy.

Even though Kurama was still cursing him, she deliberately separated a wisp of chakra to maintain her body, which was on the verge of collapse.

"Don't misunderstand, I just don't want to be dragged down by you and die in a place like this right after I finished carrying out my mission on the island."

"understood."

Viktor smiled and didn't try to be brave any longer.

Moments later, he arrived at a huge cavity deep underground.

Kaido has returned to human form, with half of his body buried in the rubble.

His chest was sunken, his limbs were twisted, and the old wound on his abdomen almost tore his body apart.

Near the wound, a few blue dragon scales were struggling to emerge, only to dissipate due to insufficient power.

Luffy has destroyed all possibilities for him to continue fighting.

But the man still didn't die.

Kaido sensed someone approaching and struggled to open his eyes.

Upon seeing Viktor, he was not surprised, but simply asked in a low voice:

"Where's Straw Hat Boy?"

"To live."

Victor stopped in front of him.

You lost.

Kaido was silent for a moment, then a low laugh came from his throat.

He neither denied it nor made any excuses.

Luffy did indeed defeat him in the most direct confrontation, crossing the high wall that stood in the way of the new era.

Kaido's gaze slowly fell on Autumn Water.

"So, you're here to kill me?"

"The Straw Hat Pirates defeated me, and now you want to kill a loser who can no longer fight back."

"Is this the difference between you two?"

Viktor's expression remained unchanged.

"He was in charge of taking down anyone who stood in his way, and I was in charge of making sure those people didn't get up again."

"Just because Luffy doesn't kill you doesn't mean Wano Country has to take the risk of keeping you alive."

"You've ruled here for twenty years, you should understand better than anyone that the loser has no right to demand that the winner preserve his future."

Kaido wasn't angry; instead, he seemed to have heard a satisfactory answer.

He had been searching for many years, hoping that someone could defeat him in a real war, and that defeat would end this life that was almost impossible to kill.

Now that my wish has come true, all that remains is a long-lost sense of ease.

"red lotus."

Kaido's voice grew even weaker.

"Do you really believe that naive brat can change the world?"

Viktor recalled his journey from the East China Sea to where he was today.

Luffy has no ambition to rule the world, nor does he have any plans to establish a new order.

He would only steal food when he saw someone starving, rush into the enemy's castle when his companions were taken away, and laugh as he told them they still had a chance when everyone had given up hope.

That is precisely why those who have bowed their heads can stand up again.

"It's not about believing."

Viktor slowly tightened his grip on Qiu Shui.

"I will make sure he goes to the ends of the earth."

Kaido stared at him for a long time, then suddenly let out a deep and cheerful laugh.

"An amazing combination."

Kaido closed his eyes, neither begging for mercy nor attempting to resist.

"Laozi's wish has been fulfilled."

"Let's get started."

Victor walked up to Kaido and grasped Shusui with both hands.

A regular knife wound is not enough to guarantee killing a monster with the life force of a mythical beast.

He channeled his remaining Yin-Yang Release into the blade, while simultaneously using his Rinnegan to lock onto the life energy still slowly flowing within Kaido's body.

The next instant, Autumn Water pierced Kaido's heart.

Yin-Yang Release spread rapidly along the wound, destroying the power of the Azure Dragon Fruit in its attempt to repair the body.

The dragon scales that had just appeared on Kaido's body gradually disappeared, and the faint heartbeat paused for a moment before finally falling into complete silence.

There was no roar, no unusual celestial phenomena, and no one to see this sea emperor off.

Kaido, who had ruled Wano Country for twenty years and dominated the New World for many years, met his true death in the darkness underground.

The moment Kaido's life force vanished, a system notification sounded in Viktor's mind.

【Ding. 】

[Congratulations, host, on achieving the hidden achievement: The Undertaker of the Old Era.]

[Personally ending the reign of a maritime emperor, eliminating any possibility of him threatening the world again.]

[Achievement Evaluation: You are no longer a challenger who looks up at the throne, but a powerful figure qualified to bury the old era with your own hands.]

[Reward Obtained: Rinnegan Ultimate Dojutsu - Limbo: Border Jail.]

[Current unlock level: Beginner.]

[Currently, one clone of the Wheel of Life can be generated.]

[Reward received: The completion rate of the Six Paths Sage Body has been greatly increased.]

A gentle force then flowed into Viktor's body.

The depleted chakra had not been fully restored, but the tearing pain of the Rinnegan was significantly reduced, and the body that was on the verge of collapse was stabilized again.

The next moment, a shadow that could not be seen by ordinary eyes emerged from his body.

The shadow stood beside Kaido's corpse, its appearance and movements identical to Viktor's, and it possessed the ability to act and attack independently.

A moment later, the clone of Limbo re-integrated into his body.

Victor pulled out the Autumn Water and turned back to the ground along the broken rock strata.

When he reappeared at the edge of the pit, the morning light had just crossed the mountains and illuminated his face, which was covered in blood and dust.

Law remained nearby. He glanced at the bloodstains on the blade of the Autumn Water Blade and knew that Kaido would never return.

Luo didn't ask about what happened; he simply stepped forward and supported Victor's swaying body.

"Red Lotus, you'd better not take a single extra step right now."

Just as Victor was about to reply, a hurried shout came from afar.

"Victor!"

Nami ran through the ruins, with Robin close behind.

Seeing that the familiar figure was still alive, the worry on their faces finally eased a little.

Nami rushed up to Viktor, raising her hand as if to punch him hard.

His pale face and almost unsteady body were visible; the hand ultimately only managed to grab his collar.

"What on earth have you been doing?"

"He's already injured like this, and he still dares to run around alone!"

Viktor was about to say that he was fine when Nami interrupted him with red eyes.

"Don't you dare say you're fine! Every time you say you're fine, it's when you're most seriously injured!"

Robin took Victor's arm from the other side, her voice still gentle, but with an undeniable air of authority.

"This time, at least don't refuse our help."

Nami supported his left side, while Robin took over his right arm, and the two of them together supported most of his weight.

"Luffy's already down. If you, the first mate, also collapse halfway through, how many idiots are we going to have to take care of?"

Robin chuckled softly, her eyes still glistening with moisture.

"It's good that you came back safely."

Viktor looked at Nami and Robin standing on either side of him and ultimately decided not to continue his act of defiance.

The three of them headed towards the Straw Hat crew's treatment area. Chopper was still checking Luffy's injuries, while Zoro, Sanji, and the other crew members were also brought to the vicinity one after another.

Seeing Viktor return safely, everyone's tense expressions finally relaxed.

Victor came to Luffy's side and slowly sat down against the rubble.

Nami was still holding onto his arm, while Robin squatted on the other side, wiping the blood off his face.

The warm morning light shone on everyone.

The era of Kaido of the Beasts has come to a complete end.
