One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

The black covenant mark floats on the tree trunk of the World Tree.

In the abyss-like shadow, Junzi's body rapidly reassembled.

Bones, flesh, skin, and clothing appeared one after another.

In just a few breaths, she was standing unharmed again in front of Viktor.

There were no wounds on his body caused by Susanoo.

There were no traces of the bones being shattered by the wheel-grave.

Even the smell of Amaterasu burning completely disappeared.

Robin looked serious.

Sauro and the nearby giant guards also wore expressions of disbelief.

They witnessed firsthand the complete destruction of Junzi.

But now, there isn't a single trace of death on her body.

Junzi raised his arm again.

"Do you understand?"

"No matter how many strange powers you possess, you cannot kill someone blessed by the gods."

Viktor did not answer.

He simply observed Junzi's body quietly.

Two eyes, one red and one purple, moved simultaneously.

Victor knew that the immortality of the God Knights came from Im.

That's not a Devil Fruit ability, nor is it simply some kind of high-speed regeneration.

Im bestows power upon the knights of the gods through a pact, enabling them to heal their wounds, cross the abyss, and even return after death.

But that was all Victor knew.

The original work has not yet revealed the fundamental principles of the contract.

There was also no real method to break the immortality barrier.

He could no longer find the answer directly by relying on prior information, as he had in the past.

Moreover, because of his existence, the future of this world has already been changed.

From this moment on, Viktor had very little information left from the original work to rely on.

The road ahead is one he and his companions must walk themselves.

The patterns in Victor's Eternal Kaleidoscope changed.

Fine black lines gradually appeared on Junzi's body surface.

That's not a scar.

That is the boundary that defines life and death.

Futsu-no-Mitama.

It can see the death lines of everything.

Previous enemies were not worth Viktor using this ability on.

Ke Junzi's contract is immortal, giving this rarely used eye technique meaning again.

Viktor wanted to confirm:

If Junzi's lifeline is severed directly, can Im's contract still bring her back?

Junzi noticed a change in Viktor's gaze.

She did not wait any longer.

His body vanished instantly, bypassing Susanoo's frontal defense, and charged towards Robin once more.

However, Limbo no Kage, who had been guarding Robin since the start of the battle, made his move ahead of time.

boom!

An unseen, heavy punch struck Junzi squarely in the abdomen.

Junzi's body suddenly bent over.

Before she could be sent flying backward, Victor was already in front of her.

The black blade slashed through.

Junzi had only a very thin scar on his chest.

But the life force within her body vanished completely in an instant.

The pupils lost their luster.

The heart stopped beating.

The connection between the soul and the body was also severed by that one strike.

Junzi fell heavily onto the branch.

This time, her body was not destroyed.

But anyone could be certain that she was completely dead.

Based on Futsu-no-Mitama's abilities, Junko has no chance of reviving.

However, after a brief silence...

The black contract mark reappeared.

It did not repair the corpse on the ground.

Instead, it opened up a deep abyss above the corpse.

New bones are re-formed.

Flesh, skin, and clothing appear in sequence.

The corpses on the ground gradually turned into black dust.

The new soldier opened his eyes again from the contract.

Viktor finally confirmed it.

Im does not bring back a life that has already died.

Instead, after Junzi's death, he gave her a new body and life through a contract.

Futsu-no-Mitama can kill her.

But he couldn't stop Im from sending her back to this world again.

When Junzi looked at Viktor, his eyes no longer held only arrogance.

The stab she had just received instilled a primal fear in her.

Without the contract, she would indeed die forever.

But this fear was quickly suppressed by the confidence that came with immortality.

You still can't do it.

"No matter how many times I use that ability, I will come back."

Viktor put away Futsu-no-Mitama.

"you're right."

Junzi was slightly taken aback.

Victor continued:

"We can't kill him for now."

"So I'm not going to keep killing you."

He put his hands together in prayer position.

The tree trunks of the World Tree suddenly shook violently.

"Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!"

Numerous tree roots burst forth from the soil all around, frantically coiling around Junzi.

Junzi unleashed his power, tearing apart the tree roots at the very front.

More vines can grow from the cracks.

She had just broken free of a layer of Wood Release when Limbo Shadow swung a fist from another world.

Junzi was blasted away head-on by an invisible attack.

His body fell back into the tree roots.

The wooden dragon wrapped around her waist.

Vines locked around the neck and arms.

Junzi struggled continuously, tearing apart large areas of trees.

But Victor had already arrived in front of her.

"The Guiding Force of All Things".

The powerful gravity suddenly pulled the general towards the ground.

The shadow of Limbo simultaneously struck down heavily from behind.

Caught between two forces, Junzi was firmly pressed into the tree trunk of the World Tree.

More Wood Release techniques covered her body, completely immobilizing her.

Viktor raised his hand.

Several jet-black chakra rods condensed in his palm.

Junzi showed obvious unease for the first time.

The first black rod pierced through her right hand, pinning her palm to the branch.

The second one pierced my left hand.

Next are the legs, shoulders, and abdomen.

The black rod pierced through her flesh and blood, disrupting the flow of power within her body.

Junzi attempted to use the contract to strengthen his body and break free.

Wood Release, however, continuously absorbed and suppressed the power she released.

The Shadow of the Wheel of Grave stood to one side.

If Junzi's body loosens, she will be slammed back into the ground.

In a short while, the God Knight Junzi was firmly nailed to the World Tree.

She glared angrily at Victor.

"You think you can defeat me like this?"

Viktor looked down at her.

You've misunderstood again.

"I'm not prepared to defeat you."

Junzi had a bad feeling.

Viktor slowly raised his head.

The Eternal Kaleidoscope locked onto her body.

"Amaterasu."

Black flames ignited without warning.

Junzi's clothes and skin were quickly engulfed by the flames.

She initially endured the pain, unwilling to make a sound in front of the pirates and giants.

But Amaterasu will not be extinguished.

The black flames continued to burn flesh, bones, and internal organs.

Wood Release and black rods prevented Junko from escaping the flames.

Finally, an uncontrollable scream escaped her lips.

Junko's body gradually turned black in the sunlight.

The breath of life vanished once again.

After Junzi died, the contract mark immediately lit up.

A new body reappears.

However, she was still restricted to the spot by the Wood Release and the black rods.

Amaterasu did not go out because of her death.

As soon as Junzi was resurrected, black flames once again covered his newborn body.

She felt the pain of her skin being burned through and her flesh being devoured again.

First death.

First resurrection.

Second death.

The second resurrection.

Each contract resulted in the general being brought back intact.

This also means that her body will regain sensation and she will once again suffer the pain of Amaterasu's burning.

Her immortality was no longer a gift that made her superior to mortals at this moment.

Instead, it was a curse that prevented her from escaping the torment.

Junzi's screams continued to echo.

The voice grew more and more shrill with each passing moment.

The area around the ancient study gradually quieted down.

The Holy Land's direct troops couldn't help but look at Junzi.

They had never seen the Knight of God so disheveled.

In their hearts, the Knights of God are the symbol of the Holy Land's order, beings who possess immortality and transcend all living beings.

But now.

The God Knight was bound by Wood Release.

His limbs were pinned down with black rods.

They died and were resurrected repeatedly in the flames, only to die again.

She couldn't even truly die.

Viktor stood before her, his expression remaining calm.

Robin watched Victor's retreating figure without saying a word to stop him.

Junzi tried to kill her several times.

Since you've chosen to take action, you must be prepared to accept the consequences of failure.

On the other side of the study hall.

Somaz is fighting Zoro.

His abilities and immortality make him extremely difficult to fight.

Even if Zoro wounds him, Contract will quickly regenerate his body.

However, Junzi's screams caused Somaz to pause briefly.

He subconsciously looked into the distance.

Just then, I saw Junzi turn into charred remains in the black flames, and then reappear in the contract mark.

Even though they were both knights of the gods, Somaz felt a chill.

Immortality should have driven the enemy to despair.

Viktor, however, used immortality to subject Junzi to endless death.

Zoro didn't miss this opening.

"You dare to be distracted while fighting me?"

A domineering aura entwined around the blade.

The three slashes passed each other.

Somaz hastily defended, but was still hit head-on.

boom!

His body crashed through the branches and was severed deep into the World Tree.

the other side.

Luffy and Shamrock's fists and swords clashed repeatedly.

Black and red lightning, a color of overwhelming power, tore through the air.

Junzi's wails also reached this place.

Shamrock's sword paused very slightly.

Luffy punched him in the cheek, knocking him back several steps.

"Where should you look when you're fighting?"

Shamrock did not retaliate immediately.

His gaze passed over Luffy and landed on Viktor.

Black Flame.

Armored creature.

trees.

Gravity and repulsion.

A black rod that interferes with the force.

And the strange power that just now directly severed life with that one strike.

These abilities have almost nothing in common or related to each other.

But it was all in the hands of one person.

The intelligence gathered by the World Government in the past only recorded a portion of the power that Victor had demonstrated.

Only now did Shamrock realize that Viktor may never have truly revealed all his cards.

Shamrock originally believed that Straw Hat Luffy was the only core member of this pirate crew that needed to be dealt with first.

Nika fruit.

The successor to Joy Boy.

A new era of Shanks' betting.

As for Victor, although he was powerful, he was ultimately only the first mate.

But what was happening before his eyes was overturning his judgment.

Victor not only possesses the power to defeat top-tier opponents head-on.

They also possess a large number of bizarre abilities that are beyond the comprehension of the World Government.

Moreover, faced with the unbreakable immortality, he showed no fear or confusion, but instantly changed his approach, turning the God Knight's immortality into a tool to torment his opponent.

This kind of power, judgment, and ruthlessness is far more dangerous than a simply powerful enemy.

Junzi's screams continued.

The black flames burned her to death time and time again.

The contract mark brought her back time and time again.

The way the Holy Land's direct forces looked at Viktor had completely changed.

The arrogance and contempt of the past have vanished.

Instead, there was an unmaskable fear.

Shamlock stared at Viktor's heterochromatic eyes, one red and one purple.

He stared at the Susanoo burning with black flames behind him, and its abilities that were completely different from the existing powers in the world.

Shamrock frowned deeply.

He greatly underestimated this guy.

"he……"

"Just who is this person?"
