One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

"They're finally out."

"It's been such a long wait."

Kizaru stood on the flagship's deck, lazily raising his finger.

Behind his gold sunglasses, his gaze fell on the Thousand Sunny, which had just emerged from the special ocean currents of Wano Country.

The ship had only recently entered the open sea, and its hull was still violently bobbing with the turbulent waves, clearly not yet having fully stabilized its course.

This is the best time to make a move.

The next moment, all the guns of the naval fleet adjusted their angles simultaneously.

The black gun barrels were all aimed at the Sunny.

The messenger shouted the order:

"Fire!"

The deafening roar of the cannons instantly tore through the sea.

Dozens of shells, trailing thick smoke, rained down on the Sunny from different directions of the fan-shaped fleet.

The sea was churning from the cannon fire, and the Straw Hat Skull Flag, which had just left Wano Country, fluttered in the smoke and waves.

On the deck of the Sunny, Nami's face darkened.

"They timed it perfectly, right after we emerged from the waterfall, when the boat was at its most difficult to maneuver."

At this moment, the surrounding ocean currents are extremely unstable. If we force a change of direction, we are likely to be further attacked by the warships on the outside.

Franky immediately rushed to the stern.

"Get out of the artillery fire zone! Prepare for demolition!"

Usopp flipped over and climbed onto the watchtower, his slingshot fully drawn, aiming at the nearest few cannonballs.

Sanji, a cigarette dangling from his lips, leaped onto the ship's railing, his brow furrowed.

"They've only just left Wano Country and they're already causing trouble. The Navy really knows how to pick their timing."

Zoro gripped the hilt of his sword; although his body was still wrapped in bandages, his eyes had regained their sharpness.

"Just cut it open."

Chopper, clutching the first-aid kit, shouted:

"You guys aren't fully healed yet! Don't act recklessly right from the start!"

"Ugh! This is so annoying!"

Luffy bit his finger and lowered his body slightly, ready to enter battle mode.

Viktor stood at the bow of the ship, a faint light emanating from his Rinnegan.

The navy arrived at the perfect time.

They had just finished the Wano Country war, and the main members were still recovering from their injuries.

If we get bogged down here by the Navy, not only will we expose more of our cards, but we might also miss Blackbeard's next move.

But none of the Straw Hat crew members showed any intention of backing down.

Luffy held down his straw hat and grinned:

"We have no choice but to attack!"

Just as everyone was preparing to meet the artillery fire, Kizaru on the flagship's deck suddenly turned into a golden light and disappeared.

The next instant, he was already in mid-air above the Sun.

"That's terrifying."

"Let me see what it's like to be one of the Four Emperors who can defeat Kaido."

Golden light gathered at his fingertips, then transformed into countless light bullets that rained down.

Artillery shells, light blasts, and warship blockade.

If this attack is allowed to continue, even if the Sunny manages to block some of the fire, it will be completely suppressed on the sea.

Viktor looked up at Kizaru, his right hand about to rise.

Luffy has also adopted a counterattack stance.

But just then, a burst of intense fire suddenly lit up the distant sea.

The fire came too fast and too fiercely.

It was as if someone had hurled a burning sun onto the battlefield from the other side of the horizon.

"Fire Fist!"

A massive, fiery fist slammed into the naval lines from the flank.

A crimson wave of fire swept across the sea, and the shells flying toward the Sunny exploded one after another in mid-air.

The light bullets that Kizaru had unleashed were detonated prematurely by the flames, and the golden and crimson explosions spread across the sea surface in layers.

boom!

Boom boom boom!

The naval warships swayed simultaneously from the impact of the explosion, and the entire sea surface was illuminated red by the fire.

The originally neat blockade line was torn open by that fiery fist.

Ahead of the Sunny, a burning channel appeared.

The flames parted the smoke and sea breeze, paving a road that stretched into the distance on the surging sea.

Usopp and Chopper both widened their eyes.

"This, this flame is—"

Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked in surprise toward the source of the flames.

Luffy was completely frozen at the bow of the ship.

He was all too familiar with this flame.

At the end of the flames, a ship flying the Whitebeard Pirates' flag broke through the waves.

At the bow of the ship, Ace pulled down the brim of his hat, a familiar smile spreading across his face.

Flames were still burning on his arm, and several members of the Whitebeard Pirates behind him had already taken their fighting positions.

"Luffy!"

Ace raised his fist and shouted:

"I'll pave this path for you, brother!"

Luffy froze for a moment, then almost jumped up.

"Ace!"

He instinctively tried to get the Sunny to move closer, but Nami immediately grabbed the steering wheel tightly.

"Idiot! We can't change course now!"

Ace shouted first:

"Don't stop!"

"Didn't you want to become the Pirate King?"

Luffy stood at the bow of the ship, his smile gradually widening.

"Um!"

"I'm going to get the last red stone soon!"

Ace burst into laughter.

"Then let's go!"

"Let me see it with my own eyes, Luffy!"

Luffy had so many questions he wanted to ask.

I want to ask how Whitebeard is doing, why Ace came, and if they've been nearby the whole time.

But Ace didn't give him time to stop the ship and catch up.

He knew very well that the most important thing right now was not for the brothers to reunite, but for Luffy to escape the Navy's blockade.

Viktor looked at the fiery path and quickly understood Ace's purpose.

The Whitebeard Pirates are not here to start a full-scale war with the Navy.

They came to meet the Straw Hat Pirates as they set sail.

Ace also looked at Victor, his voice piercing through the flames and waves.

"Hey, First Mate!"

"Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates!"

He grinned and shouted:

"I'm entrusting my younger brother to you!"

Victor stood at the bow of the ship and answered with a smile:

"I've been doing this kind of troublesome thing for a long time."

Ace laughed even harder.

In mid-air, Kizaru gazed at the Marine lines torn apart by his Fire Fist, his tone still drawn out, but with less of a joking tone.

"Oh dear."

"The captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates came to see him off in person."

"This is really troublesome."

He transformed into golden light, preparing to cross the fiery channel and continue the pursuit of the Sunshine.

But flames burst open beneath Ace's feet, and he leaped up from the bow of the ship, standing directly in front of Kizaru.

"If you want to touch my brother, you'll have to get through my fire first."

Flames and golden light collided in mid-air.

Kizaru fired a beam of light from his fingertip, piercing through the sea of ​​fire.

Ace raised his hand and opened the Flame Ring, a crimson pillar of fire shooting into the sky, forcefully blocking the golden rain of light outside the Sun.

The collision between the two caused bursts of light and fire to erupt in mid-air.

Ace had no intention of defeating Kizaru here.

He also knew that it was unrealistic to expect to suppress a naval admiral by himself in a short period of time.

But all he needs to do is buy time.

As long as the Sunny passes through the Flame Passage, Luffy can continue sailing towards his dream.

The naval fleet quickly attempted to readjust its lines.

Just then, several huge dark shadows appeared on the distant horizon.

The Whitebeard Pirates' flag was faintly visible through the mist.

Although neither the Moby Dick nor Whitebeard himself were seen, the mere sight of those few flags was enough to cause the naval soldiers' expressions to change drastically.

Kizaru glanced into the distance and immediately judged that the situation had changed.

If the Navy continues its offensive, it will face more than just the Straw Hat crew who just came out of Wano Country.

There's also the Whitebeard Pirates.

If the situation gets out of control, it could very well escalate into a full-scale conflict between the two major Yonko forces and the Navy fleet.

"Oh my!"

Kizaru spoke in a lazy tone, but his figure did not continue to forcefully break through the flames.

"This isn't my fault!"

On the Sunny, Nami seized the opportunity and decisively gave the order:

"Frankie!"

"Now!"

Franky laughed as he pressed the button.

"Wind Brings Explosion!"

A powerful gust of air erupted from the stern, and the Sunny accelerated abruptly, rushing into the channel torn open by flames.

The burning sea surface on both sides continued to surge, and the thick smoke from the exploding shells was torn apart by the fire waves.

The straw hat and skull flag flew high in the firelight, as if it were about to fly over the entire battlefield.

Luffy stood at the bow of the ship and shouted to Ace in mid-air:

"Ace!"

"Bye now!"

Ace punched away the beam of light shot by Kizaru, then turned around and laughed:

"Don't lose to someone like Blackbeard, Luffy!"

Luffy held down his straw hat, a broad smile on his face.

"I won't lose like an idiot like you!"

"asshole!"

Ace's forehead vein throbbed, and he gritted his teeth.

But the next moment, he couldn't help but laugh.

This is his younger brother.

The Sunny crossed the gap torn in the naval fleet and headed towards the deeper open sea.

The naval warships attempted to give chase, but were blocked by Ace and the Whitebeard Pirates' ships. Flames continuously exploded on the sea surface, repeatedly cutting off their pursuit route.

Kizaru watched the Straw Hat and Skull Flag disappear into the distance and did not blindly continue the pursuit.

He picked up the Den Den Mushi and reported to Naval Headquarters:

"The mission has failed halfway."

"The Straw Hat crew has broken through the blockade."

"In addition, the Whitebeard Pirates have also shown up."

A brief silence fell on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Kizaru looked up at the dwindling shadow of the Sunny, then at Ace, who was still punching in the flames to stop the fleet.

"Ah, it's getting more and more lively."

"A New World~"

In the distance, the Sunny finally escaped the range of gunfire.

Luffy remained standing at the bow of the ship, gazing at the burning sea behind him.

In the firelight, Ace's figure receded further and further away, yet he still held his fist high.
