One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

thump.

It was as if some enormous creature was slowly awakening underground.

The three undead giants simultaneously raised their heads, and the black soul fire in their pupils suddenly surged.

The smile on Viktor's face vanished completely.

Whatever lies deep within the cemetery, it is inevitably related to Blackbeard.

We can't delay any longer.

He slowly rose into the air, his Rinnegan sweeping across the entire battlefield.

He quickly formed hand seals.

"Wood Release!"

Rumble—!

The ground in the cemetery suddenly cracked open.

Thick tree roots burst forth from the rock strata, wrapping around the legs, waist, and arms of the three undead giants.

The vines tightened rapidly, firmly fixing their massive bodies in place.

The three dead bodies struggled frantically.

The giant's fist and spear slammed into the wood-elemental tree, causing large sections of bark to explode.

But new branches immediately grow from the break, wrapping around it layer upon layer.

Viktor extended his right hand.

"The Guiding Force of All Things".

The invisible force of gravity did not fall on the giant's body.

Instead, they directly seized the three soul fire lines that connected to the depths of the tomb passage.

hum!

The black wire suddenly tightened.

A large amount of soul fire was forcibly pulled out from the bodies of the three dead, like three violently twisted black chains, struggling wildly in mid-air.

The three dead bodies simultaneously let out angry roars.

The kaleidoscope in Victor's left eye slowly rotated.

The power of Yin Release condensed into three sharp lines that were almost invisible to the naked eye.

"Sever."

Swish!

The connection between the three soul flames was severed simultaneously.

After losing the power supply from the depths of the Hero's Tomb, the black flames in the eyes of the three dead instantly dimmed, and the soul fire nodes that were recovering also stopped.

Viktor surveys the battlefield.

"Now."

Luffy was already waiting directly in front of the boxer Otto.

The moment the black soul fire ran out of replenishment, he suddenly exerted force with his legs and leaped high into the air.

The right arm swelled rapidly.

His fist was covered in jet-black Armament Haki, while Conqueror's Haki transformed into lightning that coiled around it.

"Rubber, rubber—"

"The Overlord Elephant Spear!"

Sanji also rushed in from the other side, stepping into the air.

Flames of blazing white and blue intertwined enveloped his right leg, the terrifying heat causing the surrounding air to distort.

"Demon God's Wind Kick!"

One on one.

The two attacks landed almost simultaneously.

Luffy's massive fist slammed into Otto's head, shattering the Soul Flame that was controlling the direction.

Sanji's kick pierced through his chest, completely destroying the last black flame near his heart.

boom!

Otto's massive body suddenly froze.

The two broken arms hung limply at his sides.

He knelt heavily on the ground and then fell forward.

The ground shook violently.

This time, no new soul flames were ignited.

On the other side, the black fire within the body of the spear-wielding undead Karga continued to move along his spine.

However, after losing the power replenishment from deep within, their movement speed is far slower than before.

Brook's soul floated out of the skeleton's body.

A blue shadow passed behind Calgary, and the chilling aura of the underworld spread rapidly along his entire spine.

Click.

The black soulfire was covered by ice.

They tried to continue moving, but were forced to stay on their necks and waists.

Zoro bites Wado Ichimonji, while the other two swords are simultaneously enveloped in Haki.

"Usopp!"

Usopp stood atop the stone tablet, using his Observation Haki and Gas Sense to simultaneously lock onto the heat fluctuations within the deceased's body.

"Below the neck!"

"And the third lumbar vertebra!"

Zoro exerted force with both legs, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Three-Sword Style—"

"The two realms are severed!"

Two intersecting slashes flashed past Calga's body.

The first cut severed the neck.

The second incision is made in the lumbar spine.

The frozen soul fire shattered along with the bones, turning into countless black and blue ice crystals scattered on the ground.

The massive spear slipped from Calga's hands.

The upper and lower halves of the giant of the dead slowly shifted apart, and finally fell heavily in front of the tomb passage.

In the end, only the round-shielded dead Bourne remained.

He had lost an arm and was still struggling frantically in the wooden vines binding him.

Hajrudin and several giant warriors surrounded him.

This time, no one hesitated because of his identity.

"The last two soul flames!"

"The very center of the chest and the back of the neck!"

Robin crossed his arms.

Numerous arms burst forth from Bourne's shield and wrists, merging into several enormous hands covered in Armament Haki.

"A giant tree!"

The giant hand pressed down hard on the round shield, forcibly slamming the wall-like shield into the ground.

Bourne's chest was no longer covered.

A dazzling energy rapidly gathered on Franky's chest.

"Frankie Laser!"

The beam of light pierced through the air and struck the deceased precisely in the chest.

The heavy armor was instantly melted through, and the soul fire hidden within exploded in the high temperature.

At the same time, Haildin raised his greatsword high.

He looked at this ancestor who had once guarded the northern border of Elbaf, his eyes filled with only solemnity and respect.

"Lord Bourne!"

"Let us return to the banquet of gods and warriors!"

The giant sword crashed down.

The sharp blade cleaved open the back of the neck, and the last wisp of black soul fire was completely extinguished.

Bourne's massive body fell backward.

Haildin immediately dropped his greatsword and stretched out his arms to support his ancestor's remains, preventing his body from crashing heavily onto the surrounding tombstones.

He gritted his teeth and slowly lowered Bourne back to the ground.

All three undead giants ceased their movements.

Hajrudin and the other giant warriors planted their weapons into the ground.

They bowed their heads before the remains of four heroes who had regained peace.

Usopp looked around and, imitating the giants, placed his slingshot in front of him and bowed respectfully.

After a short while, the ceremony ended.

Several giants guarding the grave walked up to Usopp.

One of them was the giant guard who had initially been highly wary of the Straw Hat crew.

He looked down at Usopp, his voice booming like thunder.

"The warrior with the long nose."

"Without your eyes, we could not have sent our ancestors to rest in peace so quickly."

The other giant next to him nodded emphatically.

"Though your body is small, your vision is far-reaching."

Usopp's lips began to curl into an uncontrollable smile.

It felt like I could float away at any moment.

But he still tried his best to appear nonchalant, crossing his arms and saying:

"I'm the Straw Hat Pirates' sniper."

"This level is nothing, of course!"

Chopper's eyes were filled with admiration.

Luffy was also laughing heartily beside him.

"Usopp, everyone praised you!"

"Don't tell anyone!"

Usopp's face turned red, but he couldn't hide the smile on his lips.

After a short rest, the group continued deeper into the Heroes' Tomb.

They passed through the enormous tomb door that had been torn open by dark forces.

The interior of the tomb passage appears more spacious than the exterior.

The dome was so high that its edges were almost invisible, and on both sides were rows of giant stone coffins.

Even when Haildin walked through it, it didn't feel crowded.

The walls are carved with murals depicting giant warriors embarking on voyages, fighting, raising their glasses, and returning home.

Giants raised their battle axes and fought the sea kings in the storm.

Ancient fleets also sailed through thunderclouds to the ends of the earth.

Robin walked slowly along the wall, carefully deciphering the ancient writing on it.

"The outermost layer of burials mostly contains soldiers from two or three hundred years ago."

"The deeper you go, the more ancient the writing and burial forms become."

The tomb passage floor was covered with traces of black soul fire.

Many of the stone coffins have been forcibly opened.

However, not all remains were awakened.

Some corpses, corroded by time and reduced to mere bones, still lie quietly in their coffins.

Blackbeard only selected corpses whose bodies were relatively intact and still had combat value, turning them into puppets to block the pursuers.

His true target was clearly deeper within the Heroes' Tomb.

The group arrived at the end of the outer cemetery area.

A stone door, even thicker than the entrance, stood in front of them.

The names of ordinary heroes are not engraved on the stone gate.

There is only one extremely ancient relief.

A giant stands among the mountains, holding up a broken mountain peak with his hands.

The ordinary giants in the relief only reach his waist.

Today, the entire stone gate has been violently destroyed from the inside.

After seeing the pattern on the door, Haildin's expression instantly turned serious.

"This is not an ordinary cemetery for heroes."

"This is the entrance to the ancient royal tomb."

The remains of ordinary giants already possess extremely terrifying destructive power.

Those beings who could be buried alone in ancient royal tombs must have far surpassed ordinary giants in their lifetime.

The group passed through the broken stone gate.

Then, they all stopped in their tracks.

The room behind the door is not an ordinary tomb.

Instead, it is a vast underground space that seems to stretch to the horizon.

Huge stone pillars stretch from the ground to the dark dome, and in the distance there are even dried-up riverbeds and ancient altars.

The rock walls on both sides of the tomb chamber undulate like mountains.

Chopper looked up at it for a long time before finally saying:

"This...this is practically an underground world..."

"Look over there!"

Nami suddenly pointed forward.

In the center of the tomb chamber, there was a black stone coffin that looked like a small mountain.

Even with Haldin's size, he appeared extremely small in front of that royal coffin.

But now, the heavy coffin lid has fallen to the side.

The coffin was empty.

Several deep drag marks were left on the ground, extending from the edge of the king's coffin all the way to the side of the tomb chamber.

The black soul fire clinging to the drag marks proves that Blackbeard had already disposed of the remains in the coffin beforehand.

Haildin walked to the king's coffin.

He looked up at the empty coffin, his face contorted with barely suppressed rage.

"They took him away."

Usopp looked up and asked:

"Who is buried here?"

Haildin looked at the ancient writing on the coffin wall.

"Helmond".

"The King of the Mountains in the ancient legends of Elbaf."

"He is not an ordinary giant, but a warrior with the blood of the ancient giants."

Legend has it that Helmond once single-handedly moved a collapsed mountain to clear a path for the giants' village.

He also once used his own body to block a massive tsunami that swept across the Elbaf coast.

His size and strength made him a giant among giants, even in the history of giants.

Viktor walked inside the coffin and used his Rinnegan to observe the remaining soul fire within.

The amount of black fire here far exceeds that of the four undead giants from before.

Blackbeard did not directly awaken Helmond in the royal tomb.

Perhaps they were worried that the powerful remains would get out of control, or perhaps they were worried that it would trigger a battle and attract all of Elbaf's main forces ahead of time.

Therefore, he chose to transport the remains away first, and then slowly reconstruct them in a safe location.

Frankie's expression was serious.

"If those undead giants were just an appetizer."

"This corpse is the main cannon that Blackbeard really wanted to build."

Chopper stared at the scale of the king's coffin and couldn't help but swallow.

"How exactly did they manage to move such a large body?"

"And how big will it be when it stands up?"

Viktor looked up at the enormous empty coffin that almost reached the dome.

"Perhaps it's just like his title suggests."

"As tall as a mountain."

The black drag marks did not disappear in the tomb.

They extend all the way to the hidden passage on the side.

When Haildin saw the passage, his expression became even more grim.

Even he had never heard of another exit in the ancient royal tomb.

Robin examined the mechanisms and wear marks on the wall and quickly made a judgment.

"This passage has existed for a very long time."

"Blackbeard must have found this place beforehand from the ancient map he stole from the temple."

"So he didn't need to transport Helmond's remains out of the main gate of the Heroes' Tomb."

Luffy clenched his fist.

"Chase after them."

Nami reached out and stopped him.

"First, confirm the direction."

"Since Blackbeard made such thorough preparations beforehand, there must be traps in this passage."

Viktor's Rinnegan sensed the passage as it led forward.

A moment later, he frowned.

The remaining soul fire split into two different directions in front.

The bearded man deliberately created fake marks.

Just as everyone was figuring out the route, Robin suddenly stopped.

Behind the king's coffin, there were several ancient stone slabs that had been moved.

On the back of one of the stone slabs, there is a very small number engraved.

That marking is completely different from the Elbaf script.

It is not a sacrificial symbol of the giants.

Robin slowly squatted down and reached out to wipe away the dust from the surface.

When the complete number was revealed, the calm on her face changed noticeably for the first time.

"No……"

"How is that possible..."

She helped Dr. Clobar organize books countless times when she was a child.

After completing the initial sorting, the Ohara scholars assigned unique numbers to important books, relics, and stone tablets.

She would never mistake this mark for her own.

"Robin?"

Nami noticed something was wrong with her.

Robin's fingertips trembled slightly.

Why...?

"Will Ohara's number be here?"

"Ohara?"

Everyone looked at her at the same time.
