One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Ace hovered above the sea, flames continuously erupting beneath his feet, yet he did not take another step forward.

His fists were clenched tightly.

The anxious voices of the Whitebeard Pirates members kept coming through the Den Den Mushi.

"Captain Ace!"

"We're getting ready to leave the island!"

"Dad's going to bring the Moby Dick back intact!"

Ace didn't turn around, but the flames that were about to continue advancing gradually stopped.

Blackbeard quickly noticed this, and his grin widened even further.

"Thief, hahaha!"

"What's wrong?"

"Now you know fear?"

"You weren't like this before, Captain Ace!"

Ace's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his body even moved forward for a moment.

Sabo stood on the shore, his brows immediately furrowing.

Luffy is ready to catch up.

But just then, another voice rang out again from the depths of Ace's mind.

Those were the last words Whitebeard left before he died.

"Don't live your whole life just for my name."

"Let's go take a look—"

"Your era belongs to you."

Ace closed his eyes, and before him was the black-bearded man's smile.

But what came to mind was the pair of eyes that Whitebeard had looked into when he last saw him.

If I really chase after him today—

Luffy will definitely follow.

Sabo will never stay.

In order to provide backup, the Whitebeard Pirates might once again abandon their evacuation.

In the end...

The sons that their father risked his life to protect still have to return to this island that could be destroyed by Uranus at any moment, all for their own sake.

Thinking of this, Ace's clenched fist finally loosened little by little.

The next second, the flames beneath their feet changed direction.

Instead of continuing to chase Blackbeard, they flew back to Beehive Island.

The smile on the black-bearded man's face clearly paused for a moment.

He clearly hadn't expected Ace to actually stop.

Ace landed back on the shore.

Luffy looked at him with some confusion.

"Ace?"

Ace didn't explain, but just took one last look at the Blackbeard Pirates' ship that had already started to sail away.

Then he turned around.

"Walk."

"Take Dad home first."

A slight smile finally appeared on Sabo's face.

Meanwhile, at the stern of the ship in the distance, Blackbeard was also watching Ace, who had stopped chasing.

Logically, he should be happy.

But I don't know why.

That face, which was originally full of smugness, slowly turned somber.

Because he knew Ace from the past too well.

This guy will chase after anyone who harms the Whitebeard Pirates like a madman.

Even knowing there are traps ahead, even knowing that death is possible.

But now.

Ace, who used to be most easily swayed by his emotions, actually stopped.

Lafitte noticed the change in Blackbeard's expression.

"captain?"

Blackbeard snapped out of his daze and grinned again.

"It's nothing."

"Walk!"

"See you next time anyway—"

"I'll kill him just the same way!"

The sound traveled far away on the sea breeze.

Ace paused, then turned around again.

This time, he didn't act impulsively.

He could only watch from across the ever-widening sea as the man who had taken away Whitebeard's power.

"Teach".

Blackbeard turned around.

Ace said calmly:

"I'll leave my father's power with you for now."

Blackbeard laughed.

Ace continued speaking.

"Next time we meet, I won't chase after you out of anger."

"I will act with integrity and honesty—"

"I'll kill you."

After a brief silence, the black-bearded man's laughter returned.

"Thief, hahaha!"

"I'll be waiting!"

As the pirate ship gradually sailed away, Ace finally turned around.

On the way back to Beehive Island, Luffy kept staring at him.

Ace finally couldn't take it anymore.

"What are you looking at?"

Luffy said matter-of-factly:

"You didn't even pursue her."

"I'm all prepared to knock you out and take you back."

A vein throbbed on Ace's forehead.

"What do you mean?"

"You would definitely have pursued him in the past."

Estun fell silent for a moment, while Sabo, standing next to him, couldn't help but chuckle.

Ace glared at him immediately.

"You're laughing too?"

Sabo waved his hand.

"no."

"I just feel that you're finally starting to act like a big brother."

Ace: "..."

The next second, he kicked her directly.

"roll!"

Sabo laughed and dodged away, and Luffy laughed along with him.

After a brief moment of laughter and playfulness, the three brothers sped up again and headed towards the Moby Dick.

At this time.

Marco, Jozu, and a large number of Whitebeard Pirates members had already surrounded Old Man.

Whitebeard remained standing.

Even after losing his life, the large hand that gripped Murakumokiri still did not completely let go.

It took a lot of effort for everyone to finally pry his fingers open little by little.

Marco remained silent throughout until Ace returned, at which point he slowly raised his head.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

There was no blame, nor any questioning.

Marco simply asked in a low voice:

"Shall we go home?"

Ace looked at Whitebeard, remained silent for a few seconds, and then nodded slightly.

"Um."

"Let's go home first."

He walked over to the white-bearded man and reached out to support the body that had already lost its warmth.

In the past, it was always the father who stood in front of all his sons.

No matter what enemy we face, no matter how dangerous it may be.

As long as that tall figure is still there, they know the sky won't fall.

And now, it's finally their turn... to take their father back.

Ace lowered his head and did not cry.

He simply said in a soft voice:

"Dad."

"I'm home."

Marco, Joz, and everyone around them exerted their strength simultaneously.

Whitebeard's body was finally slowly lifted and carried to the Moby Dick.

This scene was also broadcast live to the world.

Countless people watched as the white-bearded man's sons carried his still upright body onto the ship, without cheering or laughing.

Even many naval personnel in the vicinity simply stood silently in place.

An era...

It's really over.

……

The back of Beehive Island.

The Blackbeard Pirates' ship has officially entered the open sea.

The currents caused by Uranus' first attack were still extremely chaotic, and the ship was constantly rocked by the giant waves.

Lafitte looked ahead.

"captain."

Blackbeard raised his only fist.

The white vibrating orb reappeared.

Compared to the initial state of obvious loss of control, things have stabilized considerably now.

Blackbeard threw a punch towards the sea to his side.

Crack! The sea suddenly trembled.

Several turbulent currents that were originally heading towards the pirate ship were abruptly changed direction by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

The ship immediately became much more stable.

Blackbeard looked at his fist.

An excited smile reappeared on his face.

"Hehehehe... This is really good stuff."

Whitebeard is dead, and we've got the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Whether Beehive Island will still exist is no longer his concern.

……

Meanwhile, above Beehive Island.

The ancient rings surrounding Uranus are rotating faster and faster.

The Five Elders seemed to have completely lost their inhibitions.

Satan and Pitot pounced on the armored Susanoo Nine-Tails time and time again.

Even if it was crushed by the Nine-Tails' claw, or its death line was severed by Viktor.

Even if they are cleaved in two by Susanoo's longsword, black flames will immediately envelop their remains, allowing them to regenerate at an astonishing speed.

They didn't care whether they could defeat Victor or not.

The sole purpose is to stall.

This prevents Victor from dealing with Uranus.

On the other side, Nasujuro continued to hold Shanks tightly.

Maz relentlessly battling the dragon's storm, while Vochuli continued to clash head-on with the heavily wounded Sakazuki at the port.

The Five Elders' intentions were crystal clear: to delay until the second shot was fired.

Nine-Tailed Fox slammed Pit into the ground with another claw strike, finally unable to contain its anger and cursing:

"So annoying!"

"How many more times can these old folks live?!"

Viktor did not answer; his Rinnegan was already raised to the sky.

The second round of energy storage was significantly faster than the first.

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, a dull thud, completely different from that of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, suddenly came from beneath their feet.

Rumble—!

The entire Beehive Island began to sink.

It wasn't a single building that collapsed, nor was it an entire neighborhood that was destroyed.

Instead, it was a large-scale simultaneous collapse of strata.

Pizarro had previously damaged the underground support structure, and subsequently, Beehive Island suffered tremors from Whitebeard and Blackbeard, as well as the aftershocks of Uranus's first attack.

Now, the island has finally reached its limit.

The streets began to break apart.

New cracks appeared in the massive Skull Rock layer, exposing large areas of underground space.

Nami's face darkened as she looked at the increasing cracks beneath her feet.

"Is this island going to collapse too?!"

Zoro, Chopper, Usopp, and others have returned to the Sunny.

Franky started the engine at full power, while Nami quickly confirmed the course.

Viktor's voice came from afar.

"Nami."

"Don't wait for me, get the boat ready to leave the island first."

Nami barely even thought about it.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who's going to abandon you!"

Victor did not continue arguing.

Luffy also rushed back from the other side at this time.

Seeing that the Straw Hat crew had basically assembled, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as everyone was preparing to board the ship—

boom!

Another ground collapse suddenly occurred, and the rock layer beneath Robin's feet cracked open.

She easily steadied herself using the flower-fruit, then looked down at the crack below.

Her eyes slowly widened, revealing what was not an ordinary underground cave.

It was a wall.

A massive stone wall that, despite the erosion of time, still retains its original outline.

Robin's expression changed immediately after just one glance.

"etc."

Sanji was taken aback: "Robin-chan?"

Robin had reached the edge of the crack: "There's something down there."

The surrounding rock layers are still breaking off, gradually exposing huge stone pillars.

The broken steps, an ancient space completely buried by later rock layers.

There are also massive relics that clearly do not belong to the current architectural style of Beehive Island.

Robin quickly scanned the marks.

At least it can be confirmed.

These things existed long before Beehive Island became a pirate island.

She immediately activated the Flower Fruit, and numerous arms grew along the rock wall, quickly sending herself to the next platform.

Sanji's expression changed, and he had no choice but to follow immediately.

"Are you still going down at a time like this?"

Robin did not turn around.

"Just one glance."

"If I'm not mistaken, there are ancient characters here."

The two soon found themselves among the ruins.

On the stone wall, a large number of characters have been eroded by time, and most of the content is so damaged that it is almost impossible to recognize.

Robin quickly browses through the information.

"ocean……"

"free……"

"The promise..."

These words appear repeatedly in the incomplete text.

However, the information is too little to form a complete picture.

Robin continued deeper into the area until he came to a relatively intact stone wall.

There was only a very short line of ancient text there, but it was preserved exceptionally clearly.

Robin raised his hand and gently wiped away the dust.

next second.

Her eyes slowly widened.

Sanji stood behind him.

"What did you write?"

Robin did not answer immediately.

Because in that line of text appeared a name of someone she had seen countless times in the historical text, yet had never truly understood.

After a moment, she read it aloud softly:

"Joyboy..."

Sanji's expression changed slightly.

Robin continued to decipher the remaining contents.

However, the latter half is incomplete, and only a few scattered words can be read.

"Leave……"

"So domineering..."

"The bugle call of liberation..."

Her voice gradually stopped.

Because deeper within the rock face, a huge, ancient rope, which has existed for countless years, is wrapped around a stone platform.

The rope had turned black and cracked, but it was not completely rotten.

And in the center of the rope—

It was tied in an extremely complicated knot.
