One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Chapter 58 Great Power Boost! Lightning Release: Bird Arrives!

The "Shhhh" slowly sailed northwestward on the azure sea, rising and falling with the waves.

Although the ship is shaped like a comical duck, the atmosphere inside is unusually noisy and full of tension.

"Ah... my Miss Nami..."

Sanji leaned against the edge of the duck boat, holding a plate of heart-shaped fruit platter that he had carefully prepared for Nami.

He looked at the group of sweaty, smelly men around him, his face full of disgust.

"Why?! Why do I have to squeeze in with all of you?!"

Sanji shouted in grief and indignation:

"It's bad enough that the beautiful Nami isn't here, but why is there this half-dead, bandaged, green-haired moss-headed monster on top of that?!"

"Who are you calling 'green algae head'? Curly eyebrows."

Zoro, who was recuperating in the shadows of the cabin, was physically weak, but he was not at all inferior in his verbal sparring.

He opened one eye and gave Sanji a cold glance.

"If you want to fight, I don't mind kicking you down to feed the fish."

"Huh? What nonsense are you spouting, you seriously injured soldier!"

Sanji's forehead veins bulged. "Believe it or not, I'll turn you into a seaweed salad right now!"

"Sanji! I want to eat that!"

Completely ignoring the tense atmosphere, Luffy stretched out his arm and snatched the fruit plate from Sanji's hand. He opened his mouth wide and took a big bite, almost swallowing the plate whole.

"Mmm! Delicious! Delicious! Sanji, your cooking is amazing!"

"Damn it! ...Never mind, it's such a waste to feed you beasts." Sanji covered his face with heartache.

"Gah gah! It's so noisy!"

Just then, a dissatisfied shout rang out.

Clay the raven, who was sleeping on Victor's chest, was woken up.

It flapped its wings and flew to the ship's side, tilting its head and looking at Zoro and Sanji, who were arguing, with disdain in its beady green eyes:

"You two idiots! You're noisier than crows in heat! Can't you let me get a good night's sleep?!"

"ha?!!"

Sanji and Zoro moved in unison, turning their heads at the same time to glare fiercely at Clay.

"What did you say, you fat bird? Believe me or not, I'll roast you!"

"I'm really hungry, roasted bird meat sounds good." Zoro's hand also rested on the hilt of his sword.

Despite the threat posed by the two main players, Clay remained completely calm.

It puffed out its chest, pointed at the two of them with its wings, and started its mocking mode:

"Come on! Come on! You're a lecherous cook who only knows how to fawn over women, and a green-haired, directionally challenged guy who can't even walk properly! Do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

"Pfft—Hahaha!"

Usopp and Luffy, whose mouth was full of fruit, burst out laughing when they heard this, and rolled around on the deck clutching their stomachs.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Damn crow!!"

Zoro and Sanji instantly broke down and surprisingly united, rushing towards Clay from the left and right.

"Giggle! Can't catch you! Idiot! Hehehe!"

The small cabin was instantly thrown into chaos, with chickens running wild and feathers flying everywhere.

At the stern, Johnny and Joseph were sweating profusely and laboriously rowing the boat.

The two looked at each other, tears welling up in their eyes.

"Guys... can you stop messing around... the boat's going to capsize..."

……

Amidst the commotion, Victor remained remarkably quiet.

He crossed his arms, leaned against the bow of the boat, and closed his eyes to rest, as if the noise around him had nothing to do with him.

In reality, his mind had already sunk into the system space in his mind.

[Current available Ninja Points: 3700.]

Looking at that string of numbers, Viktor felt a surge of satisfaction.

In addition to the rewards for defeating Forpody and Creek.

With the huge reward that just changed the plot and Ah Jin's fate, his assets have finally reached an unprecedented level.

"Our next destination is Arlong Paradise, and our opponent will be a fishman."

The fish-men are born with ten times the strength of humans, and they are even more powerful in the water.

Fighting fish-men at sea is a huge disadvantage for ability users.

Viktor scrolled quickly through the extensive list of ninjutsu techniques.

Soon, his gaze settled on a ninjutsu he had long admired.

[Lightning Release: Chidori]: Rank A Ninjutsu. Price: 2000 Ninja Points.

By concentrating a large amount of lightning-attribute chakra in the palm, a high-intensity electric current is formed, which has extremely strong penetrating power and paralyzing effect.

Viktor's lips curled into a slight smile, and without the slightest hesitation, he said, "Exchange!"

[Ding! 2000 Ninja Points consumed. Congratulations, host, you have learned an A-rank ninjutsu: Lightning Release: Chidori.]

Viktor didn't plan to save the remaining 1500 points for the New Year.

With the Grand Line about to be entered, the more methods the better.

[Ding! 800 Ninja Points consumed to exchange for the Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique (Rank B).]

[Ding! Consumed 700 Ninja Points to exchange for Ninjutsu: Illusionary Shackles Technique (Rank B).]

This is a powerful control technique that can pull enemies into a genjutsu space using the Sharingan, and deprive them of their ability to move by creating the illusion that their limbs are driven into wedges.

It is one of Itachi's signature genjutsu (albeit a low-powered version).

[Ding! Exchange successful. Current Ninja Way Value: 200.]

Viktor felt a pang of heartache as he watched his balance vanish instantly.

Consciousness returns to reality.

Viktor slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing you see is Clay's magnified bird face.

The fat crow, having just won a decisive victory in the "verbal battle," was now standing triumphantly on Victor's chest, its beak wide open, cawing wickedly.

"..."

Viktor's eye twitched.

He reached out expressionlessly and grabbed Clay's feet.

"Huh?" Clay's laughter stopped abruptly. He looked down at Victor. "Sir? What's wrong?"

"That laugh was awful."

Victor said something indifferently, then with a flick of his arm, he lifted Clay upside down and shoved him into the seawater beside the boat.

"Gurgle gurgle!!"

"...Help!! Sir...glug...we're on the same side!!"

……

Several hours later.

The sea breeze carried a hint of the land.

"I see it! There's an island ahead!"

Luffy, sitting on the duck's head, shouted excitedly.

Just then.

"Splash—!!"

Suddenly, the sea ahead exploded, creating huge waves.

A massive sea monster, as large as a small mountain, suddenly emerged from the sea, blocking everyone's path.

It had a head like a cow, but a body like a giant sea serpent, and it was roaring deafeningly at the small boat with its gaping maw open.

"Moo—!!!"

This is MooMoo, a combat sea beast kept by the Arlong Pirates.

"Wow!! What a huge cow!!" Luffy's eyes instantly turned into the shape of meat, and his mouth watered. "It looks so delicious!!"

"Oh? That's a good ingredient."

Sanji rolled up his sleeves, his eyes gleaming with the brilliance of a chef. "With a size this big, we could make enough grilled meat patties to last a month."

"Meat!! Let me have it!" Luffy rolled up his sleeves and was about to charge forward.

"etc."

A hand blocked Luffy's path.

Viktor stood up from his seat, stretched his wrists, and a look of eager anticipation spread across his face.

"Luffy, Sanji, don't eat this big guy yet."

He looked at the enormous sea monster, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes:

"I just bought a nice new knife, and I was just wondering where to try it out."

"A new sword?" Zoro asked, glancing instinctively at the sword at Viktor's waist.

He did not draw his sword.

Victor walked to the bow of the ship, facing the enormous sea monster that was about to pounce, and slowly took a deep breath.

His left hand gripped his right wrist, with his right palm facing down.

The newly acquired lightning-attribute chakra within his body began to surge wildly, gathering in his palm along the meridians.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

Blue and white arcs of electricity began to dance at his fingertips, the violent energy compressing and condensing.

Followed by.

"Squeak squeak squeak squeak—!!!"

A sharp and dense bird call suddenly rang out on the sea. At first, it was just a few calls, but in an instant, it turned into a roar of thousands of birds calling at the same time!

The piercing high-frequency noise made everyone on the ship cover their ears.

"What...what is that sound?!" Usopp cried out in terror.

Lightning Release: Chidori.

Victor murmured.

At this moment, his right hand was already enveloped in a dazzling blue-white lightning, as if he were holding a restless bolt of lightning!

"Moo?!"

The enormous sea beast Moo Moo was startled by the light and sound, and hesitated for a moment.

But it was in that very moment.

"Instantaneous Movement Technique"

"Whoosh!"

Viktor's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next second, he appeared on the sea surface, right below Moo Moo's enormous body.

With chakra erupting beneath his feet, Viktor shot forward like an arrow, his right hand carrying a raging bolt of lightning, plunging fiercely into the seawater beneath MooMoo!

"Go."

"boom--!!!"

Lightning strikes the water and explodes instantly.

The blue current spread instantly at an alarming speed along the natural conductor of seawater, completely enveloping Moo's enormous body.

"Mooooooooo!!!!"

The sea monster let out an extremely mournful scream.

A powerful electric current instantly coursed through its entire body, numbing its nerves and scorching its skin.

Amidst the crackling and popping sounds, the enormous sea monster convulsed violently on the surface of the sea a few times.

Then, it rolled its eyes, exhaled a puff of black smoke, and floated straight up on the water with its eyes rolled back.

"Done."

Viktor flicked away the remaining arcs of electricity from his hands, stood on the sea surface using his chakra, and nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems to be working well; this is what we call—electrofishing."

On the small boat.

A deathly silence.

Johnny and Joseph dislocated their jaws and didn't even realize their oars had fallen into the sea.

Sanji dropped the cigarette from his mouth, staring dumbfounded at the lingering spark of lightning, muttering to himself:

"That red-eyed bastard... he can actually unleash lightning?"

Meanwhile, inside the cabin, Zoro stared intently at Viktor's retreating figure, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.

"That sound...that penetrating power..."

"And that lightning..."

Zoro gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, a smirk playing on his lips.

"This guy... he's a truly unfathomable monster."
