One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

The ruins of Beehive Island.

Im's attack, which was about to strike, stopped in mid-air as a voice rang out again.

thump.

thump.

thump.

A heavy drumbeat emanated from Luffy's chest.

The heartbeat, which had stopped, started beating again.

The sound wasn't particularly loud, but it spread throughout the entire Beehive Island in an instant.

The fractured rock trembled slightly, and the drifting dust rose slowly.

Even the top experts who were fighting in the distance paused for a moment at the same time.

next moment.

The white flames reappeared around Luffy's body.

Her hair, which had returned to its original black color, turned snow-white again, reverting to its fifth-level white state.

A familiar smile reappeared on that face that had been exhausted to the extreme.

Luffy slowly opened his eyes.

His body was still in pain, and every muscle seemed to be protesting.

The immense energy drained by the fifth gear hadn't disappeared, and the injuries from withstanding Im's attack were still there.

But Luffy seemed completely unconcerned, merely glancing at the sky.

Then, he chuckled softly.

"I can't sleep! I still have things to finish!"

Im stood in front of him without saying a word.

He simply watched Luffy stand up again.

They clearly possessed the same power, and they clearly struck that drum again.

But... he's not Joy Boy.

Im was absolutely certain of this.

That man from eight hundred years ago possessed the memories of that era and carried an unfulfilled promise.

He knew what he was facing.

Knowing what the consequences of failure will be.

Even so, the man still chose to believe in the future.

But the boy in front of me is different.

He didn't even know what happened eight hundred years ago.

I don't know who Joy Boy is.

I don't know why I was able to awaken this power.

He got back on his feet for a very simple reason.

Because there are still things to finish.

……

Luffy stretched his body.

With his movements, his body bounced gently like rubber.

He glanced down at his arm, then looked at Im in the distance.

"You're such a hassle."

Im still didn't respond; he just looked at Luffy.

Looking at that face that always kept smiling.

At that moment, He suddenly thought of eight hundred years ago.

That's how Joey Boy was back then.

They had clearly failed, and everyone thought the era was over.

But the man still believed that one day, someone would inherit his will.

For the first time, Im had a hint of doubt.

What exactly is it that allows this kind of person to stand up again and again?

……

boom!!!

A tremendous roar came from afar.

In the center of the ruined Beehive Island, a massive figure burst through the rubble and charged forward.

The fully-equipped Susanoo Kurama finally broke through the Five Elders' obstruction.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's massive body landed near Luffy, its nine tails whipping up a whirlwind that shattered all the surrounding rocks.

Viktor stood atop Kurama's head, his Susanoo armor still bearing numerous cracks.

The collision with the power of Im's black rings just now put immense pressure on even the fully-formed Susanoo.

But those Rinnegan eyes remained fixed on Im.

Kurama looked down at Luffy, who had recovered.

"It can still move?"

Luffy grinned.

"Of course, I haven't won yet."

Nine-Tails remained silent for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle.

"You bastard..."

"They really don't know how to admit defeat."

Viktor ignored their conversation, his gaze remaining fixed on Im.

"Now."

"That's the real battle."

……

Im did not continue to observe.

Because He knew that time was running out.

On Satan's body surface, cracks are continuously widening.

This body was never meant to bear all of His power.

If the delay continues...

The first thing to collapse will not be the enemy, but Satan's own body.

The battle must be ended before the power left behind by Joy Boy fully awakens.

The black ring began to rotate again, and the light in the sky quickly dimmed.

A large amount of black power surged from the center of the ring.

The entire Beehive Island was once again shrouded in shadow.

Luffy, however, did not hesitate at all.

The ground beneath their feet instantly sprang up.

His body transformed into a white afterimage, rushing directly towards Im.

"Rubber, rubber—"

The arm swelled up rapidly.

"Giant's Lance!"

A gigantic fist blotted out the sky and slammed down on Satan.

at the same time.

Viktor formed hand seals, and the Complete Susanoo unfolded once more.

A massive chakra armor covered the Nine-Tails' body.

The Rinnegan locks onto Im's movements.

The next second, the myriad phenomena of the heavens and earth stirred.

Im's forward-leaning body suddenly paused.

The surrounding gravity changed instantly.

The action that was originally intended to dodge Luffy's attack was forcibly changed.

At that very instant, Susanoo's longsword slashed down from the other side.

boom!!!

Luffy's Giant Fist and Victor's Susanoo Sword fell simultaneously.

The black flames were instantly shattered.

The entire center of Beehive Island was covered by the shockwave.

For the first time, Im's body was forced back from the front.

The enormous body slid hundreds of meters across the ruins.

……

at the same time.

The deepest part of Beehive Island.

That ancient site, built 800 years ago, is undergoing changes.

The underground space was constantly shaking.

Large amounts of dust fell from the stone wall.

On the central stone platform, the black rope that had existed for eight hundred years was fully extended.

There was no light, no explosion, and no earth-shattering phenomenon.

It was like an old man who had waited for eight hundred years finally hearing a familiar voice.

On the ground, Luffy threw another punch.

Just as the fist was about to land.

The entire Beehive Island fell silent for a moment.

next moment.

An indescribable force rose from the ground.

There was no murderous intent, no attack.

But everyone felt a will from ancient times.

boom!!!

An indescribable burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted.

The dark clouds in the sky were instantly torn apart.

The thunderclouds swirling around Uranus stopped completely at that moment.

The once turbulent sea seemed to be suppressed by some invisible force, and the huge waves slowly subsided.

At that moment, the whole world seemed to remember a name that had been forgotten for eight hundred years.

……

This overwhelming aura of dominance did not seek out any enemy.

It wasn't even targeted at Im; it just spread.

It's as if it's telling everyone about the person who once failed.

The sounds that remain still exist.

An unfulfilled promise from eight hundred years ago.

It did not disappear with death.

It has been waiting for a new era, waiting for someone to hear it again.

……

far away.

Shanks gripped Griffin tightly.

His Conqueror's Haki has already reached the pinnacle of this world.

But at this moment, for the first time, he felt that his domineering aura was different from this power.

One's own domineering spirit is a matter of personal will.

And this force before us... seems more like an echo left behind by an entire era.

Shanks remained silent for a long time, then said in a low voice:

"This is..."

"Is this true Conqueror's Haki?"

On the other side, Garp stood atop the ruins.

Looking at the center of Beehive Island, Roger's words suddenly came to mind.

That era.

There is indeed someone who terrifies the world government.

A man who, even in defeat, has been feared by world governments for eight hundred years.

High in the sky, the dragon stands in the eye of the storm.

The gale continued to swirl around his body.

But at this moment, even his storm seemed to be affected by that will.

The Five Elders were the most affected.

The black flames within their bodies began to burn wildly.

It then quickly went out.

Satan's enormous body developed numerous cracks.

The injury, which could have healed continuously, is now healing at a slower and slower pace.

Pitt's enormous sandworm body began to collapse, and cracks appeared in the long sword in Nasujuro's hand.

Maz's enormous wings continued to dissipate, and the black markings on Vochuli's body gradually faded away.

They maintain their monstrous form by relying on the power of Im.

It is being forcibly stripped away.

boom!!!

The five enormous figures began to collapse simultaneously.

The black flames dissipated, and the monster's form vanished.

Instead, there were five elderly people who had already suffered severe injuries.

Satan lay dead amidst the ruins.

Pitt was unable to continue recovering.

Nasujiro's hand holding the knife trembled incessantly.

They lost the power that came from Im.

Viktor's Rinnegan swept over the five people.

The next moment, he finally understood.

"I see."

Luffy looked at him. "What?"

Viktor said calmly:

"Their so-called immortality."

"From Im."

"Now that power is suppressed, they are just ordinary lives."

The nine-tailed fox grinned.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have wasted so much time before."

In the center of the battlefield.

Im watched quietly as that domineering aura reappeared.

Eight hundred years ago, that man was the same.

Even if you fail, even if you know you can't achieve your goal, you still believe in the future.

Im said in a low voice:

"Joey Boy...you even left behind something like this?"

……

Luffy looked around at the Five Elders who had fallen.

A look of confusion crossed his face.

"Why did they suddenly shrink?"

Victor glanced at him.

"Because your friend helped you out."

"friend?"

Luffy paused for a moment, then looked down at his feet. "That guy named Joy Boy?"

Victor nodded.

Luffy thought about it seriously for a moment, then said:

"Then when we meet again, I'll treat him to meat."

Victor: "..."

Nine-Tails couldn't help but laugh.

"You really dare to say anything."

Among the flowers.

Im slowly rose from the throne.

All the attendants around bowed their heads.

No one dared to make a sound.

Because they had never seen that being display such an expression before.

Im gazed into the distance.

It was as if I could see that man from eight hundred years ago, standing in the sunlight, laughing as he faced the whole world.

"Joyboy..."

A deep voice echoed through the dark palace.

"Did you really... leave a future behind?"
