One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

The woods near Cocoyasi Village looked as if they had just experienced a small meteorite impact.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and many trees had collapsed.

In the center of the ruins, the "What What What" ship with its comical duck-head design was stuck upside down on a huge broken tree.

The duck had a twig in its beak, making it look both pitiful and funny.

"Cough cough... What exactly fell down..."

A figure with short blue hair and healthy tanned skin pushed aside the bushes and cautiously peeked out.

It was Nami's older sister, Nojiko.

She was working in the orange grove when she heard the loud noise and rushed over immediately.

However, when she saw what was in front of her, she was completely stunned.

Beside that strange duck boat, a group of oddly shaped people were lying haphazardly.

A boy wearing a straw hat is hanging from a tree branch, laughing heartily;

A long-nosed creature was lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.

There were also two people dressed in the same clothes hugging each other and crying their eyes out.

The two were also shouting nonsense like "We survived!" and "Thank God!"

And in the very center of the ruins.

"Ouch... That red-eyed bastard, he definitely did it on purpose..."

Sanji pushed away the wooden plank that was pressing down on him and struggled to his feet, clutching his aching back.

That fall almost made him throw up his dinner from the night before.

However, the moment he looked up, his gaze met that of Nojiko, who was not far away.

At this moment, Nojiko was running so fast that fine beads of sweat hung on her forehead, and a few strands of blue hair clung to her cheeks. Her wild beauty instantly pierced Sanji's heart.

"Buzz—"

The pain in Sanji's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by two enormous red hearts.

He twisted his body into a pretzel shape in an instant, sliding down to his knees in a posture that defied the laws of the human body.

"Oh!! Where is this? Is this heaven?!"

Sanji pulled a wildflower from somewhere and handed it to him with deep affection:

"Beautiful sister! Did you save me? Ah, to repay your kindness, I am willing to dedicate my life to you!"

"I'm Sanji, may I ask your name...?"

"idiot."

A cold voice came from the side.

Zoro leaned against a tree trunk, looking at Sanji with an expression that suggested he was looking at trash:

"You can't resist women? You perverted kappa."

"What did you say?! Green algae head!"

Sanji whirled around, his face contorted with rage. "This is basic etiquette for a gentleman towards a lady! What do you know, you muscle-bound creature?!"

"Caw caw caw! He's like a crow in heat! Caw caw caw!"

Clay emerged from the tangled branches, shook his feathers, and flew onto Viktor's shoulder, loudly mocking Sanji:

"Uncle Clay, I'm embarrassed for you! Hahaha!"

"A...talking crow?!"

Nojiko was so frightened by what she saw that she took a step back and covered her mouth. Who exactly were these people?

"Hey! What happened, Nojiko!"

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached.

Hearing the commotion, Nami, who was nearby, rushed over in a panic.

When she parted the bushes and saw the group of disheveled yet incredibly familiar figures before her, she froze on the spot.

His pupils contracted violently, and he stopped breathing.

Luffy, Usopp, Zoro... and even that chef Sanji.

They... actually caught up with us?

Nami's gaze swept over everyone.

Finally, when her gaze fell upon the black-haired boy standing in the shade of a tree, brushing the dust off his clothes, her heart felt as if it had been violently clenched.

Victor.

At that moment, Viktor also raised his head, his deep black eyes calmly looking at her.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if to say, "Got you."

Guilt, gratitude, fear... countless emotions surged within Nami's heart.

"Why...why did you chase after us...you idiots..."

"If it's these guys... maybe they really can..."

But the next second, reason extinguished the flame that had just ignited in her heart like ice water.

No...no.

The opponent here is Ah Long!

It's that incredibly cruel fish-man monster that ruled the entire village of Cocoyasi!

Even the Navy is helpless against this; no matter how strong these guys are, they can't possibly be a match for the fishmen.

If we let them stay, they will be killed!

Just like Bellemere back then...

They must be driven away!

Nami took a deep breath, her nails digging deep into her palms. She bit her lip, forcibly suppressing the stinging in her eyes.

When she looked up again, her face was now adorned with a cold, mocking expression.

"Ha...you bunch of idiots, you're like a persistent ghost."

Nami crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and looked at the crowd with a disdainful gaze:

"They actually tracked us all the way here... Don't you guys understand the situation yet?"

"Nami!!"

Usopp, oblivious to anything amiss, excitedly got up from the ground.

"Great! We've finally found you! Come back with us! Where's the Going Merry?"

"go back?"

Nami sneered and interrupted him:

"Don't joke around. Why would I go back with a bunch of penniless pirates?"

She pointed to the surrounding land, her tone icy:

"Look carefully, this is Arlong Paradise territory, and I am a member of the Arlong Pirates."

"I joined you before only to use you to make money for me. Now I've returned to my territory with the money and the ship..."

Nami couldn't bear it any longer, so she turned around and faced away from everyone.

"You're no longer of any use to me. If you know what's good for you, get out of here! Leave the Going Merry to me as payment for your lives."

"Wh...what?! That was a gift from Kaya!!"

Usopp's smile froze instantly as he stared in disbelief at Nami's retreating figure.

"Nami... what are you talking about... aren't we partners?"

"Partners? Don't make me laugh." Nami scoffed. "Pirates don't have partners; they just use each other."

"You woman!!"

Johnny and Joseph, enraged, drew their knives, their faces contorted with fury. "We've been so good to you! And you really are that kind of treacherous witch?!"

Zoro didn't speak, but simply rested his hand on the hilt of his sword, his sharp eyes fixed on Nami's back.

Luffy didn't say anything either.

He just stood there, holding his straw hat, his eyes fixed on Nami, without saying a word.

The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Nojiko stood to the side, looking at her sister's slightly trembling shoulders. She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

"Oh……"

In the midst of this deathly silence, a soft laugh suddenly rang out.

Viktor dusted himself off and walked towards Nami step by step.

"Hey! What are you doing! Don't come any closer!"

Hearing footsteps, Nami turned around in a panic, trying to maintain her fierce expression. "I told you to get lost..."

However, she hadn't finished speaking.

A hand was then extended in front of her.

Viktor didn't attack her. Instead, he reached out and unceremoniously pinched Nami's delicate cheeks, pulling them apart with a little force.

"Huh?!"

Nami's originally cold and ruthless expression instantly crumbled, and she was pinched into a comical duck beak.

"Let...let go..."

Nami blushed slightly and grabbed Victor's wrists with both hands, trying to break free, but Victor's hands were as firm as iron clamps.

"What do you want to do, you red-eyed bastard! I'm not a member of your pirate crew anymore..." Nami protested indistinctly.

Viktor bent down slightly, his smiling eyes fixed closely on Nami's eyes.

"Miss Navigator".

Viktor said softly, with a hint of mockery in his voice:

"I have to say, your acting... is absolutely terrible."

"Not even as good as an old man with a broken leg."

"What...?" Nami's pupils contracted.

Viktor released his grip, ignoring Nami's explanation, and slowly pulled a blank "ledger" from his pocket, flipping through it with an air of importance.

"Come on, let's settle the score."

"They stole the Going Merry, a priceless treasure given to them by Miss Kaya. If we convert it to Berries... well, let's say 100 million."

"In addition to the hurtful words you just said, which caused enormous psychological damage to our captain's young mind, the compensation for emotional distress... should be at least one hundred million."

"And the 310 million you owe me, plus the interest from this period..."

Viktor closed the "ledger," smiled at the dumbfounded Nami, and held up five fingers:

"Congratulations, Miss Nami. You now owe me approximately 6 million Berries."

"Trying to renege on our debt and kick us out? No way!"

Victor stepped forward, getting closer to Nami again, and said with a smile:

"You'll have to work for us for the rest of your life until you pay this debt back. No matter where you run off to, I'll bring you back to pay it back."

Upon hearing this, Noki, who was watching the scene unfold, raised an eyebrow and squinted as he looked between the two men.

"you……"

Nami was left speechless by his retort.

Looking at the man in front of her, who was all talk about money but refused to let her go, the high wall she had built in her heart began to shake violently, and tears welled up in her eyes.

These idiots... why can't they understand human language?!

Those fishmen... they're monsters!

"Hahaha! Is it over there?!"

Just then, a loud and unpleasant laugh came from deep in the woods, breaking the delicate atmosphere.

Nami's face turned deathly pale instantly.

From the other end of the woods, a dozen tall, menacing-looking fishmen swaggered over.

The leader was a minor fishman leader in the Arlong Pirates.

"Huh? Is that Nami?"

The leader spotted Nami, then his gaze fell on Luffy and the others, his eyes turning fierce.

"There are humans too? Could they be invaders?"

"Oh no! We've been discovered!"

Nami was terrified, and the fear in her heart erupted instantly.

If Arlong finds out that she brought outsiders back, not only this group, but also Nojiko and the village will suffer!

"Run!!"

Nami could no longer maintain her act; she slapped Viktor's hand away and pushed him frantically, her voice trembling with tears:

"Please! Run! Hide! Those guys are fishmen! They'll kill you!!"

however.

No matter how she pushed, Viktor in front of her was like a tree that had taken root, not moving an inch.

She even fell into Victor's arms because of her exertion and her cunning in her anxiety.

Luffy stood still, watching the fishmen approach, calmly picking his nose with his little finger, his tone indifferent:

"No way. Baka!"
