One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

The day after the Battle of Beehive Island ended.

A hastily printed newspaper, carried by countless newsbirds, flew to all corners of the world.

At the headquarters of the World Economic News Agency, the enormous printing presses were almost constantly running.

The freshly printed newspapers, still smelling of ink, were packed into parcels and sent to different sea areas.

Morgans stood atop a mountain of newspapers, clutching an order from the World Government in his wing.

The command is very simple.

The live broadcast from Beehive Island was a fabricated video by the Revolutionary Army. The Five Elders never attacked the Navy in monstrous form, and the ancient weapons in the sky do not exist.

All newspapers must cease dissemination, or they will be prosecuted for endangering world security.

After reading it, Morgans threw the order directly into the trash can.

"You expect me to cover up the truth for them at a time like this?"

He spread his wings, looked at the huge headlines that kept appearing on the printing press, and burst into excited laughter.

"The whole world saw it!"

"The World Government wants to kill its own Navy; the Five Elders are immortal monsters; and legendary ancient weapons have fallen from the sky!"

"And then there's Whitebeard's death, and Blackbeard, who possesses three different Devil Fruits!"

"How could this kind of news possibly be suppressed!"

The printing press roared to life.

At the very top of the newspaper, a line of striking black text occupied the entire page.

[Whitebeard's era ends! The truth hidden by the World Government?!]

Below the title are photos of Whitebeard dying standing up, Blackbeard unleashing three different abilities, and the Five Elders besieging the Navy.

On this day, the whole world was set ablaze by newspapers.

……

New Naval Headquarters.

The atmosphere in the marshal's office was extremely oppressive.

Akainu sat behind his desk, half of his body wrapped in bandages, with scars from his battle with Whitebeard still visible on his chest.

Even after treatment by military doctors, the tremor that penetrated deep into the body did not completely disappear.

Kizaru leaned against the wall, his face unusually devoid of a smile.

Fujitora rested his hands on his cane and sword, while Aokiji stood by the window, watching the warships constantly returning to the harbor.

Garp and Sengoku also remained in the room.

Two documents were placed in front of everyone.

One is the battle damage report for Beehive Island.

Another one came from Mary Geoise.

The order instructed the navy to immediately block the news and claim that the live broadcast from Beehive Island was faked by the Revolutionary Army.

At the same time, all officers and soldiers involved in the retreat were investigated, and those who disseminated the images without authorization were arrested.

The Straw Hat Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates were designated as top-priority targets for elimination.

The order offered no explanation for the Five Elders' attack on the Navy on Beehive Island, or for Uranus's plan to destroy the entire island.

The Warring States period was the first to break the silence.

"The World Government's liaison officer is still outside waiting for a reply."

Akainu didn't speak, but simply picked up the order and read it over from beginning to end.

A moment later, dark red magma emerged from his palm.

The paper burned quickly, turning into ashes that landed on the desk.

The people in the room looked up at the same time.

"Sakazuki," Sengoku frowned, reminding him, "Burning the order doesn't mean the matter didn't happen."

"Then let the people outside go back and tell those guys sitting in Mary Geoise."

Akainu slowly raised his head, his voice barely concealing his barely suppressed rage.

"The Navy will not comply."

The office fell silent instantly.

Even though everyone present had expected it, they were still shaken to varying degrees when they actually heard those words.

For eight hundred years since the establishment of the World Government, the Navy has always been its direct armed force.

Even though there were conflicts between the two sides, no marshal ever publicly refused the Five Elders' supreme orders.

This time, however, the Five Elders were not planning to kill pirates.

It's the entire naval fleet.

"The soldiers who participated in Operation Beehive Island were sent to the battlefield in accordance with orders from headquarters."

Akainu slammed his fist on the table, and lava flowed along the crack.

"They fought pirates and also saved civilians when the island collapsed."

"As a result, those bastards tried to wipe everyone and the evidence off with a single sentence of 'necessary sacrifice'."

"Now that things have been exposed, are they letting the navy arrest the soldiers who returned alive?"

Akainu coldly glanced at the ashes on the table.

"The Navy upholds justice, not cleansing up the stains on the Celestial Dragons."

Kizaru took off his sunglasses, wiped the dust off the lenses, and said in a low voice:

"Once these words reach Mary Geoise, there will be no turning back."

"From the moment they launched their attack on the navy, there was no turning back," Fujitora replied calmly.

Aokiji turned to Akainu: "What level are you prepared to go?"

"From now on, all branches will only receive direct orders from Naval Headquarters."

"Without confirmation from headquarters, you shall not cooperate with the Knights of God or the CP organization."

Akainu paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the room.

"The Navy will continue to hunt down pirates and maintain order on the seas."

"But whoever dares to point their cannons at our soldiers again, whether they are pirates, revolutionaries, or so-called gods..."

"Treat them all as enemies."

Karp, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly grinned when he heard this.

"At least he said something decent."

Akainu gave him a cold glance, but did not argue as he had in the past.

Sengoku closed his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly.

He knew that from the moment the order was issued...

The relationship between the World Government and the Navy, which has lasted for eight hundred years, has developed an irreparable rift.

……

Meanwhile, at the Revolutionary Army headquarters.

Dragon stood before a giant world map, with Sabo, Ivankov, and revolutionary cadres who had just been evacuated from Mary Geoise gathered behind him.

The live stream from Beehive Island has ended, but the communication lines they re-established have not been shut down.

News from all over the world is constantly pouring in.

Protests erupted in some countries, slaves began to rebel, and some kings who had previously remained silent publicly questioned the world government for the first time.

Everyone was waiting for the revolutionary army's response.

"Shall we declare war now?" Sabo asked.

The dragon looked at the world on the map, divided by the Red Earth Continent, and slowly nodded.

"There's no longer any need to hide it."

Soon after, the Den Den Mushi controlled by the Revolutionary Army simultaneously sent images to the four seas and the Grand Line.

The dragon's image appeared in countless squares, taverns, and palaces.

"What happened on Beehive Island was not a fabricated video."

"The World Government is preparing to kill the Navy, civilians, and everyone who has witnessed the truth in order to cover up the secret."

"We will not ask anyone to take up arms immediately, nor will we force any country to join the revolutionary army."

"But starting today, everyone should seriously consider one thing."

The dragon stared directly at the image of the Den Den Mushi, and its voice resounded throughout the world.

"Are you obeying a government that maintains order, or a throne that can sacrifice everyone at any time?"

"If the answer has changed."

"Then stand up and reclaim the right to choose your future."

After a brief silence, responses began to emerge from all over the world.

What started as scattered sounds quickly coalesced into a massive wave.

……

The Grand Line, Calai Bali.

Inside the Cross Guild headquarters, Bucky was holding the latest newspaper in both hands, almost pressed against the page.

"Whitebeard is dead, Blackbeard has gained three powers, and the Five Elders are still monsters..."

His voice trembled more and more as he read, and finally he pointed sharply to the report that the Straw Hat crew had taken away the fourth Poneglyph.

"Why is Straw Hat Boy going to Laugh Tale so soon?!"

Crocodile sat on the sofa and coldly exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Because you don't even have a single historical record of road signs yet."

"You make it sound so easy!" Bucky cried out indignantly. "Those are four red stones! Do you expect me to conjure them up right now?"

Mihawk sat by the window, his gaze fixed on the picture of Zoro in the newspaper.

In the chaos of the battle on Beehive Island, the young swordsman who once challenged him in the East China Sea was now able to face off against a Marine Admiral.

Only one step remains to fulfill the promise the two made years ago.

Crocodile tossed another nautical chart onto the table.

"We don't need four rubbings."

Bucky was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"The Straw Hat crew has the rubbings, so Shanks must have figured out the way to the end as well."

"By focusing on one of them, we can find the final sea area."

Bucky was stunned, then noticed that his subordinates in the hall were looking at him with great anticipation.

"Captain Buggy, are we going to fight for the Pirate King title too?!"

"You're finally going to surpass Shanks and Straw Hat Pony!"

A thunderous roar of cheers erupted instantly.

Barnes was about to deny it when Komihawk's gaze fell on him.

He swallowed hard and had no choice but to raise his hands.

"No, that's right!"

"Since the world is in such chaos, let's go to Laugh Tale and steal ONE PIECE!"

"oh--!!"

Amidst deafening cheers, Mihawk slowly stood up and picked up the black sword Night, which was placed to the side.

"Roronoa Zoro"

"It seems it's time to finish that duel."

……

Mary Geoise, among the flowers.

An intelligence officer knelt below the throne and reported all the news: the navy refused the order, the revolutionary army openly declared war, and the Cross Guild set sail.

The Five Elders stood in the shadows, their bodies still bearing the scars from the Battle of Beehive Island.

Im sat quietly on the Void Throne, showing no anger at the Navy's disobedience.

"Let them rebel."

The intelligence officer trembled slightly.

Im looked up at the huge world map hanging on the wall.

"Insects that have been asleep for too long always think that once they see the sky, they have the right to rebel against God."

"Since they're going to gather together, it saves us the trouble of searching for them one by one."

He raised his hand and pointed to the depths of the new world.

"Repair Uranus, lock onto the Straw Hat crew."

"End this era before they find that place."

The World Government, the Navy, the Revolutionary Army, and the pirates vying for the ultimate treasure all begin to act simultaneously.

Although the Battle of Beehive Island has ended, the sea has not returned to calm.

It merely tore away the last veil of pretense from the old world.
