One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

After the Straw Hat Pirates decided to head to Whole Cake Island, the temporary residence arranged by the Kozuki family quickly became busy again.

Franky took Usopp to inspect the Thousand Sunny.

Sanji then took Zoro, who had just returned to the courtyard, to the Shogun's mansion to discuss the supply of fresh water, vegetables, and meat.

Zoro was initially unwilling to go.

It wasn't until Sanji reminded him that the best sake in Wano Country was controlled by the Shogun's mansion.

The swordsman, still recovering from his serious injuries, reluctantly changed his mind.

Nami spread out a sea chart in the courtyard, calculating the route from Wano Country to Whole Cake Island.

Robin then placed the three rubbings of the historical text of the road signs into waterproof rolls.

Chopper was busy counting the medicines.

Although most of the Straw Hat crew members are now able to move around normally.

However, Luffy, Victor, Zoro, and Sanji have not fully recovered from their injuries.

Victor sat on the edge of the corridor, looking at the familiar chaotic scene in the courtyard, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Some people were arguing, while others were moving supplies.

There are also people who can't help at all, but they still shout and give orders from the sidelines.

This means that the Straw Hat Pirates have emerged from the state of war and are back to their pre-departure routine.

Just then, Kin'emon walked into the courtyard with a solemn expression.

He was holding a stack of newspapers and a paper bag containing a large number of wanted posters.

"Lord Luffy, Lord Victor."

Kin'emon didn't exchange pleasantries as usual, but instead handed over the newspaper on top.

"This is an overseas news report that was just delivered to Wano Country by the News Bird."

"Wano Country has been closed off from the world for many years, so information from the outside world has always been slow to arrive."

"After the Battle of Ghost Island, the roads in various villages and the intelligence channels of the General's Mansion fell into chaos again."

"We have only received this batch of newspapers today."

Luffy casually took the newspaper.

But when he saw the headline on the front page, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

The entire front page consisted of only three huge lines of text.

[All nations have fallen!]

[Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, has died in battle!]

[Marshall D. Teach, the Blackbeard, reigns supreme on Whole Cake Island!]

The once noisy courtyard quickly fell silent.

Nami put down her paintbrush, and Franky and Usopp were just returning from the direction of the dock.

Sanji and Zoro had not yet returned, but everyone else immediately gathered around the newspaper.

Robin took another newspaper from Victor and read out the published information one by one.

After Big Mom was defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates and the main force of Whole Cake Island suffered heavy losses, the Blackbeard Pirates suddenly launched a major attack on the Totto Land waters.

The Charlotte family did not have enough time to recover.

Big Mom ultimately died in the Battle of Whole Cake Island, and many important executives of Whole Cake Island were also confirmed to have died in battle.

The islands, originally ruled by the Charlotte family, have fallen into chaos.

The Blackbeard Pirates seized the opportunity to storm the treasure room and the core castle, stealing the treasure, resources, and navigational intelligence that the Big Mom Pirates had accumulated over many years.

The newspaper did not mention the Soul-Soul Fruit.

All the world knows is that Charlotte Linlin's era has officially ended.

Victor, however, knew very well that, given Blackbeard's character, he would never invade the world for gold and silver treasures alone.

He definitely devoured the Soul-Soul Fruit.

Usopp stared at the newspaper image of Whole Cake Island reduced to ruins, his expression filled with bewilderment.

"Even though we defeated Big Mom before, there are still so many Charlotte family members in Treasure Kingdom."

"How could the entire Big Mom Pirates crew have been captured so quickly?"

"Because Katakuri is dead."

Viktor calmly gave his answer.

"The person who can truly maintain order in the Big Mom Pirates when Charlotte Linlin goes out of control is never one of the ordinary officers, but Katakuri."

"He has the ability, the judgment, and enough prestige to command the obedience of all his brothers and sisters."

After Katakuri's death, Perospero, despite his experience and intelligence, lacked the power to subdue all his brothers and sisters.

Smoothie is powerful, but she lacks Katakuri's judgment of the situation and his prestige.

The remaining members of the Charlotte family each control different islands and armies.

When facing ordinary enemies, they might still be able to fight together based on blood ties.

However, when a truly powerful intruder appears, internal hesitation and divisions will be magnified infinitely.

Moreover, Teach chose the timing with extreme precision.

The old lady had just suffered a defeat, and the morale of the nation had plummeted to its lowest point, with many cadres still recovering from their injuries.

Blackbeard did not challenge the Big Mom Pirates in their full strength in a fair and square manner.

Instead, it swallowed the entire Tottoland when the opponent was at its weakest.

"That guy has always been like that."

Victor looked at the photo of the black-bearded man on the front page.

"Hide, wait until the odds are high enough, then strike at the most opportune moment and take away everything that others have accumulated."

Luffy didn't say anything.

He stared at the photo of the black-bearded man grinning, his gaze gradually becoming serious.

Nami, on the other hand, thought of what they truly cared about first.

"Where is the historical text of the road sign?"

The group quickly searched for newspapers.

All the reports only described the fall of the Kingdom of Treasures, the death of the old woman in battle, and how much treasure the Blackbeard had taken; none of them mentioned the red stone tablet.

Ordinary journalists don't even know what the historical text of the road sign actually means.

But Blackbeard is no ordinary pirate.

Robin gently pressed down on the newspaper.

"Now that Teach has conquered the world, he cannot ignore that Road Poneglyph."

"The last rubbing has most likely fallen into the hands of the Blackbeard Pirates."

"However, it cannot be fully confirmed at this time."

The main text may have been moved by the Charlotte Family before the war began, or taken away from Whole Cake Island by some surviving members.

Before receiving definitive information, any judgment is merely speculation.

"Let's go to Wan Guo first."

Victor did not immediately change the established course.

"Whether the main text is still there or it was taken away by Blackbeard, we must find concrete clues first."

Luffy looked up, his tone unwavering.

"If that stone is with Teach, then take it back from him."

Robin continued flipping through the newspaper and quickly found the World Government's latest list of the Four Emperors.

With Kaido and Big Mom withdrawing from the sea one after another, the original structure of the New World has completely collapsed.

The four sea emperors now recognized by the world government and news agencies are—

Edward Newgate, the "world's strongest man".

"Redhead," Shanks.

"Blackbeard," Marshall D. Teach.

"Straw Hat", Monkey D. Luffy.

Kin'emon opened the paper bag containing the wanted poster again.

"In addition, there are the Straw Hat Pirates' latest bounties."

At the very top is Luffy's bounty poster.

In the photo, he maintains his white hair and white clothes in the fifth stage, with an exaggerated smile on his face.

"Straw Hat" Monkey D. Luffy.

Bounty: 4.6 billion Berries.

Having defeated Kaido, awakened a mysterious ability, and been officially recognized as one of the new Four Emperors, this number has truly entered the realm of the Emperors of the Sea.

Following closely behind was Victor.

The bounty photo is clearly from the Ghost Island battlefield.

In the image, he stands atop the Nine-Tails' head, his Rinnegan gazing at the sky.

Purple Susanoo armor covered the giant fox demon's body, and its nine tails together supported the falling Oni Island.

"Red Lotus" Victor.

Bounty: 4.4 billion Berries.

He spearheaded the battle on Onigashima, directly restrained Kaido, and prevented the island from crashing.

Even though he was only the first mate, the World Government dared not set a bounty for him as if he were an ordinary Yonko first mate.

What's even more noteworthy is that there's an extra line of special content marked in red at the bottom of the bounty poster.

"Whether dead or alive, the eyes and intact body parts are also eligible for a bounty."

Nami's face darkened instantly after she read the text.

"They want your eyes?"

Robin's gaze turned cold as well.

The World Government clearly sees Viktor not only as a pirate to be eliminated, but also covets his eyes, bloodline, and those inexplicable special abilities.

Victor simply put the bounty poster away.

"It's easy to write it down on paper."

Whether they can get it or not depends on their ability.

Robin's bounty followed immediately.

Nico Robin, the "Devil's Child".

Bounty: 2.5 billion Berries.

This amount surpasses Zoro, Sanji, and Jinbe, becoming the third highest bounty in the Straw Hat crew, second only to Luffy and Victor.

The reason is not hard to guess.

As the Straw Hat Pirates acquire more and more Road Poneglyphs.

Robin, who can decipher ancient texts, is no longer just a survivor of Ohara, but a key figure in determining who can reach Laugh Tale.

The World Government's fear of her far exceeds that of many great pirates.

Zoro and Sanji both have bounties of 2 billion Berries.

Unfortunately, the two were not in the courtyard at the moment, otherwise these two numbers would have surely sparked a heated argument about "who is the third strongest fighter in the group".

Usopp, on the other hand, broke the billion mark.

His bounty poster not only featured an exceptionally imposing photograph, but also included an extremely exaggerated description.

"The mastermind behind the Straw Hat Pirates, the behind-the-scenes commander of the Onigashima War, who guided the Straw Hat Pirates to defeat the Beast Pirates with a perfect strategy."

Everyone in the courtyard looked up at the same time, their expressions complex as they looked at Usopp.

"The brains of the Straw Hat Pirates?"

Chopper repeated it in a low voice.

Usopp puffed out his chest and let out a triumphant laugh.

"Finally, someone has discovered my true value!"

"That's right, every step in defeating Kaido was actually part of my captain's plan!"

Halfway through his laughter, he suddenly realized a more serious problem.

This bounty will be seen by the whole world.

Those who want to defeat the Straw Hat Pirates may actually see him as the mastermind behind the scenes who needs to be eliminated first.

Usopp's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Wait a moment!"

"Could we ask the World Government to reprint a copy? This is completely fake news!"

Franky has 940 million, Nami has 820 million, and Brook has 730 million.

Chopper finally pulled out his bounty poster with great anticipation.

"Ship's Doctor" Tony Tony Chopper.

Bounty: 100 million Berries.

Chopper's eyes widened at first.

Having always been treated like a pet, his bounty has finally seen a real increase.

But when he looked up and saw that others were talking about billions or even two billion, his smile quickly disappeared.

"Why is there still such a big difference!"

"I clearly cured so many people on Ghost Island!"

Nami did not comfort Chopper.

She had already taken out her abacus and was quickly calculating the total bounty for the entire group.

A moment later, Nami looked at the figure of over 20 billion Berries and a smile of undisguised satisfaction appeared on her face.

After observing everyone's reactions, Kin'emon finally asked the most important question.

"Now that you all know that the Kingdom of Ten Thousand has been conquered by Blackbeard, are you still planning to go there?"

Nami put away the abacus, her expression turning serious again.

"That route is indeed more dangerous than we anticipated."

They originally thought they would be facing a group of elderly women whose strength had been diminished.

But now, Whole Cake Island may have been occupied by a new Yonko pirate crew that has just completed its expansion and is in high spirits.

Robin also reminded him:

"If Blackbeard already knew the true value of the Road Patch text, he wouldn't be satisfied with just the World of Nations."

"He has likely already started searching for the other three sets of coordinates."

The Straw Hat Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates will inevitably become rivals.

Luffy, however, did not hesitate for a moment.

"We're just one piece short."

"Whoever took it, we must find them."

Victor agreed.

The conflict between Blackbeard and the Straw Hat Pirates could not be avoided forever.

Whether it's the final historical marker or their drastically different paths, they will eventually meet at sea on the way to Laugh Tale.

"The Sunshine will depart tomorrow after completing its final checks."

"Viktor said to Kin'emon."

Kin'emon was clearly taken aback.

"tomorrow?"

"Your injuries have only just begun to heal, and Lord Luffy, Lord Victor, and Lord Zoro especially need to continue to rest."

"Stay at least a few more days—"

Luffy shook his head firmly.

"I don't want to!"

"We've had enough rest."

"The last stone may have already been taken by Teach, we can't wait any longer."

Kin'emon looked at the others in the courtyard.

No one raised any objections.

Kin'emon put away the empty newspaper bag and bowed solemnly.

"I will immediately inform Lord Momonosuke and Lord Hiyori of this matter."

"You all saved Wano Country."

"Since you are about to embark on your journey, please at least give us a proper chance to say goodbye."

Kin'emon turned and headed towards the General's Castle.

In the courtyard, Luffy picked up the newspaper with the picture of Blackbeard again.

The final island is just one step away.

The person standing in his way was another pirate who shared the same name as him, but had taken a completely different path.

Marshall D. Teach.
