One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

The day of parting finally arrived.

The morning sun shines on the harbor of Cocoyasi Village, and the Going Merry is ready to set sail.

Be careful! Don't damage the roots!

On the deck, Usopp was directing Johnny and Joseph to carefully transplant three lush orange trees onto the deck at the stern.

That's the orange tree Bellemere left behind; it represents Nami's deepest longing for her mother and hometown.

"Don't worry, Miss Nami!" Usopp wiped the grime from under his nose and patted his chest triumphantly.

"I'm a genius designer! I specially designed a small garden on the deck to ensure these orange trees enjoy the best sunshine and sea breeze!"

"Hmph, at least you're somewhat useful." Nami looked at the familiar orange trees, a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

At this moment, the riverbank was crowded with villagers who came to see him off.

Just as Luffy was about to board the ship, a calloused hand pressed down on his shoulder.

Police officer A-Jian, covered in wounds and with a windmill stuck in his hat, pulled Luffy aside with a serious expression.

"Straw Hat Boy"

Ah Jian pointed to the windmill spinning in the wind on his hat, his voice low and solemn:

"Do you know who this windmill was erected for? It was to bring a smile to the face of that child who always cried."

"Nami is in your hands now. But... if you dare make Nami's smile disappear..."

"I'll chase you to the ends of the earth, I won't let you go!!"

Despite the menacing warning, Luffy was not intimidated.

He pressed his straw hat against his head, grinned, and revealed his signature smile:

"Hehehe! Viktor wouldn't!"

"..."

Ah Jian paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "You bastard... never mind, just get lost."

……

"Raise the sails! Set sail!!"

With Luffy's command, the Going Merry's white sails billowed, and it slowly sailed away from the port.

However, Nami was nowhere to be seen on the deck.

"Hey! Where's that woman? Did she change her mind?" Zoro asked, leaning against the mast, puzzled.

Just a dozen meters from the shore.

"Wait a moment!!"

A vibrant voice rang out.

Nami, carrying her pack, burst out of the crowd, leaped high into the air, and landed steadily on the stern railing of the Going Merry.

She turned around and looked at the villagers on the shore, waving goodbye with tears in their eyes, reluctant to part.

There was no heartfelt confession as I had imagined, nor a touching embrace.

Nami took a deep breath, then suddenly made a huge face at the shore, pulling her eyelids down and sticking out her tongue:

"Hehehe—!!"

Then, she suddenly lifted the hem of her shirt and shook it forcefully.

"Splash—"

Countless bulging wallets fell out of her clothes like raindrops, piling up on the deck.

Nami, clutching the pile of wallets, grinned like a cat that had just stolen some fish.

"Everyone!! Take care! I'll gladly accept your wallets!!"

This happened so fast that the villagers on the shore instinctively reached into their pockets.

Empty.

After a brief silence.

"Damn it!!! That's my secret stash of money!!"

"You little thief!! Stealing one more thing before you leave?!"

"Same old story!! Give me my money back!!"

The villagers, their veins bulging, brandished their fists and roared furiously at the departing boat.

However, as they shouted, their voices choked with emotion.

The angry expression gradually melted away, turning into tears streaming down her face.

Ah Jian held his hat, Nuoqi Gao covered his mouth, and all the villagers waved their hands frantically at this moment, shouting out their final blessings with all their might:

Goodbye!!! Nami!!!

"You must be happy!!!"

"Don't catch a cold!!"

Hearing the shouts behind her, Nami could no longer maintain that greedy, smug expression.

She turned away from the village, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.

"Waaaah... Everyone... Thank you..."

The girl knelt on the deck, clutching the pile of wallets, and cried her heart out in the sea breeze.

Much later.

The Merry had already sailed into the vast ocean, and the village of Cocoyasi had long since disappeared below the horizon.

Nami sat under the orange tree, still sobbing occasionally, her red eyes like a rabbit's.

"Give."

A slender hand reached out and handed her a steaming cup of orange tea.

Victor walked over at some point, and behind him, Clay was obediently perched on his shoulder.

"This is some leftover stock from Nochigo, specially brewed for you."

Viktor sat down next to Nami with a smile, gazing at the distant sea, his tone relaxed:

"Stop crying, or your eyes will swell up like walnuts."

"Nonsense! Mind your own business!" Nami took the teacup, giving him a disgruntled look, but a warm feeling welled up inside her.

"Oh, right."

Viktor seemed to suddenly remember something and pointed to the cabin behind him:

"The day before yesterday, I casually searched through the ruins of Ah Long Paradise."

"Although the Navy took the lion's share, the Arlong Pirates still had some treasure and gold left..."

"I also added some interest for you, and it's all piled up in the warehouse."

Upon hearing the word "treasure".

"Buzz—!!"

Nami, who was still in tears and immersed in sadness a second ago, suddenly raised her head.

Those bright red eyes instantly transformed into a glittering gold Pele symbol!

"Really...really?!"

Nami threw down her teacup and rushed into the cabin. A moment later, her excited scream echoed from inside:

"Wow!! Gold! It's gold!! I'm rich!!"

Immediately afterward, Nami rushed out like a gust of wind, grabbed Viktor's arm, and fawned over him:

"Victor! You're such a good person!! I like you the most!!"

"..."

Viktor's body and smile froze.

Zoro, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but mutter with a black line on his face:

"This woman... changes her expression so quickly."

Sanji, meanwhile, was biting his handkerchief and rolling around on the ground, wailing, "Waaah! I want to give Nami treasure too! I want Nami to hug me too!!"

After the initial commotion, the atmosphere on the ship became lively again.

"Alright, my little ones!"

Luffy occupied his VIP seat—the goat's head of the Going Merry—and excitedly pointed ahead, facing the sea breeze:

"We have our crew now! We have a ship! We even have a bounty!"

"Where to next, Nami?"

Nami was in high spirits, holding a sea chart in her hand, pointing to a point in the east, her eyes sparkling:

"If we want to get to the Grand Line, we must pass through that place first."

"That's the final hurdle to entering the Grand Line, and it's also the legendary..."

Nami's voice rose a few decibels, tinged with a hint of awe:

"The place where the Pirate King Goldoro was born and executed."

"Loguetown!!"

"Loguetown?!"

Upon hearing the name, Luffy suddenly stood up, pressing his hands tightly against the straw hat on his head.

In those dark eyes, an unprecedentedly dazzling light suddenly erupted:

"The Pirate King... is he born and died there...?"

"Yoshi!!"

Luffy raised his fist and shouted at the endless sea:

"It's decided! Full speed ahead!!"

"Target—Loguetown!!!"
