One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

The Conqueror's Haki that had swept through the middle layer of the World Tree finally began to dissipate slowly.

The strong winds gradually subsided.

Loki stood in front of the ancient library, holding the royal weapon that had been returned to him, his long hair falling slowly in the wind.

He closed his eyes and placed his palm on the rough trunk of the World Tree on the ground.

The royal bloodline resonated faintly with the roots of the World Tree.

The flow of the black soul fire gradually became clear to him.

The altar is located in the deepest part of the underworld.

All the black flames originate from that point and flow continuously along the intricate root system of the World Tree to all its layers.

As long as the altar remains open, the undead giant will continue to awaken.

Even if this batch is destroyed, another batch of remains will be awakened by the black fire.

Loki opened his eyes.

"The source of power lies in the deepest part of the underworld."

"I'm going to the altar."

Haildin immediately stepped forward.

"I'll be with you."

Loki, however, did not look at him.

His gaze fell on the collapsing giant village in the distance.

"You can't leave."

Haildin frowned.

"You think I'd let you approach the altar alone?"

"Now is not the time to spy on me."

Loki raised his royal weapon and pointed it at the chaotic village.

"I am a sinner hated by all of Elbaf."

"Those people won't obey my orders."

"You are the royalty they are willing to believe in."

He sheathed his weapon and turned to walk toward the enormous rift leading to the underworld.

"I'll go and shut down the altar."

"Go and save the people who are still alive."

Haildin did not agree immediately.

Loki, however, had already taken a step.

"Haydin".

Haildin raised his head.

Loki did not turn around.

"Don't let Elbaf be ruined here."

Haildin gripped the greatsword tightly.

"I should be the one saying that to you."

Loki's lips curled up slightly.

"Then let's see who does it better."

The two brothers still haven't reconciled.

They were still separated by Harald's death, by years of hatred, and by the seal of the underworld.

But at this moment when Elbaf is facing destruction, they choose to stand together and take on the responsibilities that are best suited to them.

Haildin ultimately failed to catch up.

"Loki!"

Loki stopped in his tracks.

"Come back alive."

Loki remained silent for a moment.

Then, he shouldered the royal weapon and leaped into the enormous rift leading to the underworld.

boom!

The enormous figure swiftly descended along the roots of the World Tree and vanished into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Hajrudin withdrew his gaze and turned to face the Straw Hat crew.

"This is the war in Elbaf."

"You've already helped us a lot, there's no need to continue—"

"Teach is also our enemy."

Luffy interrupted him directly.

Zoro pressed down on the hilt of his sword.

"And those dead people are blocking our way."

Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at the fleeing crowd in the distance.

"Aren't there still many women and children in the village?"

Chopper has already put on his medical kit.

Franky's shoulder cannon muzzle also reopened.

Brooke drew his cane sword.

None of the Straw Hat crew members were prepared to stand idly by.

Viktor looked up.

The ripples in the Rinnegan slowly spread.

His senses rapidly extended along the World Tree's vast root network.

Helmond, the King of the Mountains, is moving from the lower to the middle levels of the World Tree.

The mere vibrations caused by the movement of the remains caused numerous tree roots and rock layers to crack.

Viktor looked in that direction.

"I'm going to deal with the King of the Mountains."

Nami looked serious.

"Blackbeard stuffed so many souls into its body."

"I'm afraid it's not comparable to those few undead giants from before."

Viktor's body slowly rose into the air.

Black flames and chakra gathered around him, and his clothes fluttered even without wind.

"It's precisely because it's troublesome that we can't let it continue to approach the village."

He looked at Nami and Robin.

"I will finish this quickly."

The words fell.

Viktor transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the black pillar of fire that rose in the distance.

Luffy's eyes widened when he saw this.

"Wait! Victor!"

"That biggest one should be mine!"

He stretched out his arm, as if trying to pull Victor straight back from the sky.

Nami threw a punch without hesitation.

boom!

Luffy's entire face slammed into the ground.

"Is now the time to rob the enemy?!"

Luffy covered his head and got up.

"But that big guy looks really strong!"

Nami pointed towards the Heroes' Tomb.

Black pillars of fire are rising continuously from there.

The silhouettes of giants of the dead have appeared among the distant mountains.

"If you want to fight, go to the Heroes' Tomb!"

"That's a real army of undead giants!"

Luffy's eyes lit up instantly.

"Legion?"

Nami had just nodded when Luffy turned and rushed out.

"good!"

"Then let's go there!"

Zoro didn't say much, and followed with his sword.

"Usopp, come here!"

The Heroes' Tomb contains the largest number of the dead, and its dense battlefield is more suitable for him to perform well.

Usopp looked at the giant figures that stood up one after another like mountains in the distance, and his legs began to tremble noticeably.

"Wait, wait a minute."

"Why do I have to come along too?"

Nami immediately said.

"Because you have a large-scale gas explosion."

"Moreover, you can sense the flow of black fire and find key nodes in the legion of the dead."

Usopp swallowed hard.

But thinking of the recognition that Hajrudin and those giants had just given him, Usopp finally straightened his back.

"In that case!"

"Let Elbaf witness the true strength of the brave sea warrior Usopp!"

He turned and chased after Luffy and Zoro.

He had only run a few steps when he suddenly turned back and shouted:

"You all need to remember to come and help as soon as possible!"

Haildin quickly summoned the giant warriors from the vicinity.

He must travel to the most severely affected village in the middle layer of the World Tree to stop the giant beasts and the tree roots controlled by black fire.

Nami, Sanji, Chopper, Franky, and Brook decide to travel together.

Haildin looked at everyone with a solemn expression.

"Elbaf will always remember the Straw Hat Pirates' help."

Sanji had already rushed towards the direction of the cries for help.

"We'll say thank you after we're done!"

Only Robin remained standing among the books of Ohara.

Nami walked to her side.

"Robin."

"Come with us."

Robin gently shook his head.

Blackbeard has penetrated deep into Elbaf.

These books not only document O'Hara's research, but may also have been another target of Blackbeard's.

"Twenty-two years ago."

"I could only watch Ohara burn."

Robin's voice remained gentle, yet carried an unwavering determination.

"This time, I will not let these books disappear from my sight again."

Sauro immediately stepped forward.

"I will stay here."

There were also several giant administrators in the ancient library.

With Saulo's help, at least the most important books could be moved into the hidden library.

Nami was still a little worried.

Robin gave her a gentle smile.

"Go help those who need you more."

"Leave this to me."

Nami was silent for a moment, then gently squeezed Robin's hand.

"Take good care of yourself."

Robin nodded with a smile.

"The same to you."

Nami eventually left the Ancient Library with Halding and the others.

The war bells outside still echoed throughout Elbaf.

The sounds of giant beasts roaring and buildings collapsing could be heard intermittently.

After the Straw Hat crew left one by one, the interior of the ancient library became unusually quiet.

Robin and Saul lead the giant caretaker to move the most important books deeper into the ground.

She crossed her arms.

Countless arms grow from the bookshelves and the ground, neatly taking the books.

Sauro carefully lifted the transparent cabinet containing the human books.

After working for a while, Robin suddenly stopped.

Not long ago, this place was filled with the laughter of my friends.

Saul had just told her "Welcome back".

For the first time, she publicly acknowledged that Victor was her husband.

Nami held her hand.

Luffy and Usopp then bickered as they recounted their adventures along the way.

At that moment, Robin truly felt that she had finally pieced together her lost past with her present happiness.

But in the blink of an eye...

Everyone rushed to the battlefield.

Robin gazed at the familiar number and said softly:

"I just felt..."

"I've finally gotten everything I lost back."

"But happiness is always so fleeting."

Her tone remained calm.

Sauro, however, sensed the underlying disappointment in his voice.

He put down the protective case he was holding and looked down at Robin.

"Robin."

"You lost your happiness before because someone forcibly took it away from you."

"Back then, you could only run away alone."

But things are different now.

Robin looked up at him.

Sauro flashed his familiar smile.

"They are not leaving you."

"They are fighting to protect what you all share."

"Didn't that kid named Victor just say that too?"

He will protect you.

A faint smile returned to Robin's lips.

"He did say that."

Saul continued:

"The happiness that truly belongs to you will not disappear because of a war."

"Once they return, we can continue the banquet that wasn't finished earlier."

Robin nodded slightly.

"Um."

"They will definitely come back."

Just then, one of the giant administrators suddenly stopped what he was doing.

"Mr. Sauro."

"Did you hear anything?"

Sauro listened intently.

Outside the library, the war bells continued to toll, and the roars of giant beasts echoed from afar.

However, the interior of the ancient study hall was unusually quiet.

The administrators who were just moving books in other areas have suddenly fallen silent.

The smile on Robin's face slowly disappeared.

His Observation Haki spread outwards.

She immediately crossed her arms.

Several enormous arms grew from the ground, dragging the most important bookshelf behind them.

"Sauro".

"Someone has come in."

Hey.

From deep within the library, the sound of a cane striking the ground suddenly came from the depths of the library.

Hey.

The voice was neither hurried nor slow.

Saul immediately stepped in front of Robin.

A slender figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the bookshelf.

He was wearing a formal suit.

It has white wings growing on its back.

Lafitte removed his hat and gave Robin a graceful bow.

"Nice to meet you."

"Miss Nicole Robin."

"Please don't be nervous."

"Our admiral simply wants to invite you to join the next leg of the voyage."

Saul clenched his fist, just about to make a move.

An invisible slash suddenly came from the side.

boom!

Sauro raised his arm to defend himself.

The sharp sword energy sliced ​​through his skin, forcing his massive body back several steps.

Behind the bookshelf, Shiryu's figure slowly appeared.

Heavy footsteps followed from the side door.

Bashas carried a huge cage made of sea stone, smashed open the wooden door, and entered the library.

"Hahahaha!"

"Finally, it's our turn to perform!"

On the other side.

A giant with the exact same appearance as Sauro slowly emerged from the shadows of the bookshelf.

Robin's pupils contracted slightly.

A strange smile appeared on "Sauro's" face.

Her enormous body rapidly shrank, eventually reverting to the appearance of Katrina Deppon.

Poison Q rode on Zhuangzhuang's back and slowly entered the library from deeper inside.

He covered his mouth and coughed a few times.

"In order to wait for everyone else to leave..."

"We've been hiding for a long time."

Robin looked at the black-bearded executives surrounding the ancient library from different directions and finally understood.

The Giant of the Dead and the King of the Mountains are, of course, the weapons of war that Blackbeard desires.

However, the riots that swept through the entire Elbaf region were also a large-scale diversionary tactic.

She was one of the prey that Blackbeard truly wanted to take away from the very beginning.

Robin asked calmly:

"Does Blackbeard want me to decipher the Poneglyphs for him?"

Lafitte shook his head slightly.

"It's not just about interpretation."

"The Straw Hat Pirates have found three red stone tablets."

"And we believe that you have certainly read each and every piece with your own eyes."

"Those words, directions, and coordinates should all be stored in your mind."

He slowly opened his arms.

"The admiral happens to possess the last one."

"As long as I have you."

"The history of the four road signs will then be completed."

Sauro's expression changed drastically.

Robin, however, showed no surprise.

She had long understood that she would eventually become the target of the world's struggle once again.

Lafitte smiled and extended his hand to her.

"so--"

"Please come with us."
