One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

"Whoosh—"

Luffy's neck stretched out like rubber, and his head jutted out from the second-floor deck onto the terrace below, almost touching Sanji's face.

"Hey! Chef! Join us! Be the chef of our pirate crew!"

Sanji, who was lost in his own emotions, was startled by the large face that suddenly appeared.

The cigarette in his mouth almost fell out, and the serious and profound atmosphere from before vanished instantly.

"Wow! What's your anatomy like?!"

Sanji took a step back, looking at Luffy with disdain. "I already said I have reasons for staying here. Whether it's the old man or this shop... anyway, give up."

Without any hesitation, Luffy immediately answered loudly:

"Oh no, I refuse!"

"Huh? Refuse what?" Sanji was taken aback.

"I refuse you, I refuse you!!" Luffy shouted defiantly.

"Are you an idiot?!"

Sanji's forehead veins bulged; he felt completely unable to communicate with this guy. "Were you even listening to me?! This is my decision!"

"I won't listen!"

Luffy stretched out his arms like two ropes and grabbed the railing, then his body shot down with a "whoosh".

He sat steadily on the railing, looking down at Sanji.

"What's the reason? The reason we have to stay here?"

"I have no obligation to tell you!"

Sanji's eyes turned cold, and a gleaming kitchen knife appeared in his hand without him even noticing, which he viciously pressed against Luffy's forehead:

"If you utter another word, I'll chop you into mincemeat, you persistent straw hat brat!"

Facing the sharp blade, Luffy defiantly widened his eyes and stared intently at it:

"What did you say?! You dare say bad things about this straw hat?! I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Their foreheads met, sparks flying, neither giving an inch.

"Ugh...you two idiots, shut up, you're so noisy."

Just then, a helpless voice came from above.

Viktor used one hand to brace himself against the railing, and with a light and graceful movement, he flipped and jumped down, landing steadily and breaking the tense atmosphere between the two.

The two snorted coldly, ending their standoff, and both looked at Viktor.

Viktor ignored them and turned to look at Akin, who was struggling to get up from the ground.

"You're the captain-commander of the Krieg Pirates, aren't you?"

Akin, clutching his still slightly aching abdomen, looked warily at Viktor and assumed a defensive stance.

"Ah...that's right. While I appreciate the meal, I'm happy to oblige if you'd like to fight."

"I will not back down for Chief Krieg."

"fight?"

Viktor's lips twitched, revealing his signature smirking expression:

"I have no interest in fighting with a nobody like you."

"However... if you give me a chance to kill your 'Admiral' Captain Creek, I might be able to reluctantly accept it."

"What did you say?!"

Arkin instantly flew into a rage, his eyes turning bloodshot as he glared at Viktor. "How dare you insult the leader! Leader Creek is the overlord of the East Sea!"

"Crick? What's that? Is it delicious?"

Luffy, standing next to him, tilted his head and picked his nose with a blank expression.

"..."

Sanji stared at this straw-hatted idiot with a black line on his face, and couldn't help but retort:

"You don't even know this? How did you become a pirate? You're an admiral with a fleet of fifty pirate ships."

Akin glared at Viktor with hatred, then took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and looked at Luffy with a complicated expression:

"You guys are pirates too, right...? What's your purpose in being a pirate?"

Luffy immediately flashed a bright smile, his eyes resolute:

"Ah! I must find One Piece and enter the Grand Line!"

"Oh, that one."

Viktor, who was standing to the side, suddenly nodded and replied in a serious tone:

"Ah, that's right. I'm Luffy, the man who's going to become the Pirate King."

"Hello!!!"

Luffy instantly bristled, stretched out his arm, grabbed Victor's collar, and shook him wildly:

"You bastard Viktor! Don't steal my lines! I'm the Pirate King! You're the Pirate King's first mate! First mate!!"

"Hey, I know, stop shaking me, I'm going to throw up." Viktor was being shaken around like a rattle-drum, but he remained calm.

Ajin watched the two bickering, but there was no smile on his face.

On the contrary, upon hearing the words "Grand Line," a deep fear appeared on his face, and his body even began to tremble slightly.

"Since Sanji saved my life, I'll give you some advice..."

Ah Jin's voice was hoarse, as if he were recalling some nightmare:

"You'd better not go to the Grand Line. That... is not a place for humans at all."

"That's just a part of the world's oceans. If you just want to be a pirate, the sea is so vast, you can go anywhere. There's no need to go and die..."

Luffy stopped shaking Victor and looked thoughtful:

"So... what do you know about the Grand Line?"

"Don't ask anymore!!"

Ajin suddenly clutched his head in pain and squatted down on the ground.

"No, I know nothing... I understand nothing... It's hell... It's hell..."

Viktor looked at his distraught state, smiled, and said nothing.

They had only been on the Grand Line for a few days when they encountered the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, who was out blasting fish ponds. Fifty of their large ships were instantly reduced to a single, wrecked vessel.

What's the difference between this and a bunch of bronze and iron players being matched with the top player in the Chinese server...?

Should we say the Krieg Pirates were lucky to survive, or that their luck was extremely bad...?

……

The scene changes.

After all, Ah Jin was the captain, and his mental fortitude was quite strong; he quickly adjusted.

With Sanji's help, he boarded a small shopping boat that Baratie had reserved.

"Goodbye, everyone." Akin untied the rope.

Luffy stood on the railing, laughing loudly, and said:

"Ah, goodbye! But I'm still heading to the Grand Line!"

"Just like the chef said, even though it's dangerous there, I have my reasons for going! Hehehe!"

Sanji leaned against the railing, looking at Luffy's fearless and determined expression, his eyes slightly moved.

"call--"

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, tilted his head back, and exhaled a large cloud of thick smoke.

"Cough cough..."

Viktor, his face streaked with smoke, frowned, waved his hand, and gave the curly-browed man a hostile look.

"Hey, Curly Eyebrows. Can't you smoke in the ocean? You're polluting the air."

Victor strongly suspected that the guy was doing it on purpose.

"ha?!"

Sanji, cigarette dangling from his lips, looked over defiantly. "Smoking in the sea? Are you out of your mind? And who else has curly eyebrows? You red-eyed bastard, wanna fight?"

Viktor's smile widened.

"Okay. Don't be shy, you'll soon experience what it's like to smoke in the sea."

"Huh?" Sanji's face was full of black lines.

Does this mean he will be thrown into the sea?

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing the two men on the verge of fighting, Luffy not only didn't try to stop them, but instead slapped the railing and burst into laughter.

"Ugh, you two are such idiots! You two have such a great relationship!"

"You're the idiot!!"

Viktor and Sanji moved in unison, turning to Luffy and roaring at him simultaneously.

"Huh? Is that so?" Luffy scratched his head, looking completely innocent.

"hehe……"

Having rowed a distance away, Ajin couldn't help but smile after a long time when he saw this vibrant scene.

"Feed—!!"

Gin interrupted their playful banter, stood up, and bowed deeply to Sanji:

"Sanji-san, thank you so much. You're my savior. That fried rice... was the most delicious food I've ever eaten in my life."

He raised his head, a hint of hope in his eyes:

"If I have the chance in the future... may I come here to eat again?"

Sanji paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips.

The cigarette between his fingers flickered, and he waved his hand dismissively, saying:

"Ah, anytime. Whenever you want to eat."

"Thanks!!"

Ajin turned around and steered the small boat away into the distance.

Viktor stood by the railing, glanced at Sanji, and then kept his eyes fixed on Gin's departing figure.

He hesitated.

Now, a single kunai can be thrown over and accurately take down Akin, even saving us from a lot of trouble later.

but……

He glanced at Sanji, who was still smoking beside him and looked somewhat forlorn.

If we kill Gin now, it would negate Sanji's earlier act of saving him, and might even completely enrage this future ally.

"Smack."

Viktor put away the kunai and held it in his palm.

Forget it.

Let him bring that Creek along, and we'll deal with him together.

It's just a matter of putting in a little more effort, and it's a good opportunity to earn some Ninja Points.

"Sanji, you have your principles, and I have mine."

"When it's time to wield my sword, I will show no mercy!"

Viktor thought to himself, then turned and walked toward the restaurant with a smile.

"Hey, you with the curly eyebrows, are we your gods now?"

"I'm hungry, I'll have another plate of fried rice."

"Ugh!" Luffy looked annoyed. "He looked like he was enjoying his food!"

"Thanks for reminding me! Viktor! Sanji! I want a game too!"

"Go drink seawater, you two bastards."

Sanji stubbed out the cigarette and headed towards the kitchen.
