One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

As the small, coffin-like boat disappeared off the horizon, the sea, which had just been battered by a violent storm, finally returned to calm.

But beneath this calm, there was a suffocating stillness.

On the sea, the huge warship that once symbolized the hegemony of the East China Sea is now just a bare wreck floating in the water.

Hundreds of pirate henchmen clung to the broken planks or squeezed together at the stern of the ship that had not yet sunk.

They were all emaciated and had sunken eyes, looking like hungry ghosts who had just crawled out of hell.

However, despite their hunger making them even want to gnaw on the planks under their feet, not one of them dared to swim a step closer to the nearby Baratie restaurant.

Because that man is still there.

The headless corpse of Creek that Akin brought, and Akin's idle chatter, all pointed to...

That black-haired, red-eyed man was the "demon" who had chopped off their admiral's head with a single sword strike.

That fear, so deep within their souls, even overwhelmed their craving for food.

"Da, da, da."

Footsteps sounded.

Ah Jin, who had just climbed out of the sea, was soaking wet.

He dragged his battered body step by step to the center of the restaurant's deck.

He didn't look at anyone and went straight up to Viktor and Zeff.

"thump!"

This tough guy, known as "Ghost Man," knelt down heavily on both knees without any hesitation at this moment.

His forehead slammed hard against the hard wooden board, making a dull thud. Blood flowed down his forehead, mingling with the seawater dripping down.

"Please..."

Ah Jin's voice was hoarse and trembling, filled with final despair and pleading:

"I know...we're going to die. Captain Creek is dead, and we've lost the will to fight..."

"But... my brothers... they're still starving..."

He suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes filled with tears:

"Just a little food and water will do! In exchange... I swear! I will leave with everyone immediately! I will never set foot in the East China Sea again! I will never do evil again!"

Please!!

Another resounding thud.

The restaurant was completely silent, except for the sound of waves crashing against the shore.

The chefs looked at each other, some with pity, others with resentment.

"Oh."

A soft laugh broke the silence.

Victor walked slowly across the railing with his hands in his pockets.

As he approached, an invisible sense of oppression instantly enveloped Akin.

"Buzz—"

Viktor's originally dark eyes instantly transformed into crimson Sharingan.

Two magatama slowly rotated in his pupils, emitting an eerie and cold light.

He walked up to Ah Jin and looked down at the lowly man.

"Do you know what you're saying, you pirate Gin?"

Viktor's voice was calm, yet it carried a chilling undertone:

"These people are pirates, the kind of beasts that bare their fangs as soon as they're full. You saw what happened to Krieg just now."

Viktor bent down slightly, his Sharingan eyes staring directly into Gin's soul:

"Releasing a tiger back into the mountains will lead to endless trouble. What if they get their fill one day and come back to bite people? This kind of pointless sympathy can kill you."

The air around him seemed to freeze.

Luffy leaned on the railing, watching this scene silently without saying a word.

Akin's body was trembling violently.

He sensed the undisguised killing intent emanating from Viktor, a terrifying intent that would instantly behead him if he answered even the slightest wrong word.

But he did not back down.

Akin gritted his teeth, raised his head to meet those terrifying Sharingan eyes, and said, word by word:

"If...that day really comes..."

"Please take my life first!!"

There was no wavering in his eyes; it was a resolute determination that disregarded life and death.

"I will bear all the sins! I will bear all the punishment!"

The two looked at each other.

A few seconds later.

The red light in Viktor's eyes faded, and the suffocating sense of oppression vanished as well.

He straightened up, resumed his smiling expression, and waved his hand somewhat listlessly:

"Well, that's a really boring answer."

"However... since you've put it that way, then do as you please."

After saying that, he turned around and ignored Ah Jin on the ground, as if the murderous person from just now was not him at all.

at the same time.

"Da, da, da."

Another set of footsteps sounded.

Sanji, who had just been kicked into the sea by Viktor and was soaking wet, had somehow already entered the restaurant.

He didn't even glance at Ah Jin, nor did he say a word, and walked straight into the kitchen.

After a while.

"Bang!"

The kitchen door was violently kicked open.

Sanji emerged carrying a huge wooden barrel on one hand.

Behind him, several chefs, including Paddy and Carl, followed reluctantly, pushing carts full of food.

"Hey! Sanji! This is the food we're preparing for our guests tonight!" Paddy complained loudly, but his hands didn't stop moving.

"Stop babbling, you stinky cook."

Sanji slammed the huge wooden bucket filled with seafood fried rice down in front of Gin.

He pulled a cigarette from his soaked pocket; it was too wet to light, but he still habitually put it in his mouth.

There's only leftover food here.

Sanji turned around, his back to Gin, his tone indifferent:

"Eat quickly if you're going to, and get out of here. Don't make a mess of the restaurant entrance."

Looking at the steaming, mountain-like pile of fried rice in front of him, Ah Jin could no longer hold back her tears.

"Th...thank you...waaaah...thank you!!"

Beside the railing on the second floor.

Zeff watched this scene without stopping it.

He merely stroked his golden beard and gave a cold snort:

"Since it's already been made, let's not waste the food. That's the rule in Baratie."

……

Half an hour later.

Beside the wreckage on the sea surface.

Akin distributed buckets of fried rice to the dying pirates. In this moment of despair, Akin was unanimously elected as the new captain.

"Waaaaah! There's food!!"

"It's rice! It's hot rice!!"

The pirates frantically grabbed rice and stuffed it into their mouths, their cries and chewing sounds filling the air.

During this feast after surviving the ordeal, Ah Jin stood at the bow of the boat, looking at his companions who had once been fierce and menacing, but now wept like children.

His gaze gradually hardened.

Kreece is dead, but he lives on.

Listen up!

Ajin roared, his voice echoing in every corner:

"After we finish this meal, we'll leave here! Leave the East China Sea!!"

"We must never forget this kindness! We... will start anew!!"

"Yes!! Captain Kin!!" The pirates responded with tears streaming down their faces, their mouths full of food.

The wrecked pirate ship used its remaining sails to slowly begin to turn.

Before leaving.

Akin stood at the stern, facing the direction of the Baratie restaurant.

He bowed deeply to the blond chef with a cigarette in his mouth and remained there for a long time.

Then, he straightened up, his gaze sweeping over the crowd and landing on Luffy and Victor.

His eyes held a complex mix of awe, gratitude, and a barely perceptible hint of fighting spirit.

"Straw Hat Luffy... and Victor."

Ajin clenched his fists and shouted:

"Although we stand on different sides... I, Ah Jin, will never forget this kindness!!"

"See you...on the Grand Line!!"

The sea breeze is blowing.

The wrecked ship, laden with scars and new life, sailed further and further away in the afterglow of the setting sun, eventually disappearing into the vast ocean.

On the deck of Baratie.

Victor leaned against the railing, watching the direction the pirate ship had gone, and the familiar system notification sound rang in his mind once again.

[Ding! Detected that the host has significantly altered the fate of the supporting character "Gin" and the "Krieg Pirates".]

They, who were originally destined for destruction, have now been given a new life.

[Plot deviation increased.]

[Reward received: 1000 Ninja Points.]

Hearing the pleasant notification sound, Viktor's lips curled into a slight smile, and he felt pleased.

"1000 points... It's not a lot, but it's better than nothing."

He now has a whopping 3000 Ninja Points, enough to make a big splash.

He took a kunai out of his pocket and twirled it casually between his fingers, a meaningful glint in his dark eyes.

"It's not so bad to be a good person once in a while."

"after all……"

The sea breeze ruffled his black hair, and his smile appeared exceptionally bright in the sunlight, yet it also sent a chill down one's spine.

Victor squinted, gazing at the empty sea in the distance, and murmured softly:

"If they dare to turn back, we can just kill them again."

"As long as my sword remains, there is nothing in this world that I cannot cut down."

"You're right, aren't you, Luffy?"

Beside him, Luffy was leaning on the railing, gazing into the distance. Suddenly, he turned around and flashed a big smile:

"Hehehe! I'm hungry, Victor!"

"..."

Viktor's smile froze instantly.

"You bastard...you completely ruined the atmosphere!!"
