One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

The Merry sailed along the canal flowing down the Upside Down.

Whiskey Peak, the legendary island inhabited by bounty hunters, finally came into view.

It was an island with an extremely peculiar shape, with huge cactus peaks standing on the sea.

At the foot of that mountain was a rather prosperous-looking town.

However, when the Going Merry slowly entered the port, the scene before them left the Straw Hat crew somewhat bewildered.

Logically speaking, when a pirate ship flying the skull and crossbones flag enters the port, the civilians should have been terrified and fled in all directions.

But now...

"Welcome! Welcome, pirates!!"

"Long live the pirates! The heroes have arrived!!"

On the dock by the shore, a dense crowd of townspeople had gathered.

Holding up welcoming banners, their faces beaming with enthusiastic smiles, they cheered and jumped for joy at the Merry, even playing cheerful music.

Wow!! That's amazing! They even have a welcoming ceremony!

Luffy, perched on the bow of the ship, exclaimed with shining eyes, "The people here are so hospitable!"

"Has my fame spread all the way to the Grand Line? Have I become a hero?" Usopp began to feel smug.

However, Victor, standing at the bow of the ship, watched the scene unfold with a smile.

Those black eyes instantly transformed into crimson Sharingan with three tomoe.

"Buzz—"

Under the Sharingan's insight, the world sheds its disguise.

Those smiling townspeople, those seemingly harmless old people and women—in Viktor's eyes, each one of them seemed to be shrouded in a faint aura of murderous intent.

And hidden in the clothes behind them and in the bouquets in their hands, there was the cold glint of swords and guns.

"Are they all actors...?"

Viktor's lips curled into a mocking smirk, the red light in his eyes fading: "Looks like we've walked into a wolf's den."

At that moment, Nami walked up to him.

As a seasoned thief, her intuition was also giving her a frantic warning.

"Victor, something's not right." Nami whispered, looking warily at the shore.

"What ordinary person would welcome pirates like this? What should we do?"

"Don't rush, Miss Navigator."

Victor patted her on the shoulder with a smile:

"Since they're so 'enthusiastic,' let's cooperate and put on a good show."

……

After they reached the shore, Mayor Icarum—the man with blond curly hair who spoke as if he were singing—warmly greeted Vivi and the others.

"Welcome to Whisky Hill! A haven for fine spirits and music!"

Ikaram waved his hand generously: "To celebrate your presence, we're hosting a grand banquet tonight! Plenty of fine wine and food!"

This instantly exposed several of the Straw Hat crew's weaknesses.

"Meat!! I want to eat meat!!" Luffy's mouth watered, and he was the first to rush in.

"Beautiful ladies! So many beautiful older sisters!!" Sanji's eyes sparkled with hearts as he twisted his body into a pretzel.

"I am Captain Usopp, the brave warrior of the sea!" Usopp was so flattered by the praise from the beautiful women that his nose almost reached the sky.

The banquet hall was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

"Come on! Drink!!"

Nami then revealed a side of herself that shocked everyone.

"Does winning guarantee a prize of 100,000 Berry?"

Nami stood on a barrel of beer, holding a huge beer mug in her hand, while a group of burly men lay down in front of her, trying to get her drunk.

"Ten more people, please!! I haven't had enough to drink yet!!"

Driven by the prize money, Nami's fighting prowess was off the charts; she managed to drink over a dozen burly men under the table.

"Goo goo goo goo! Nami, the mighty boss, is awesome!!"

Clay, standing on the table, was caught up in the fervent atmosphere and Nami's imposing presence, flapping his wings and boasting loudly:

"Of course! My eldest sister is the kind of woman who could drink the ocean dry! Hehe!"

"Good heavens! That crow spoke?!"

"How amazing!!"

Clay's words instantly shocked many of the townspeople and bounty hunters who were watching.

"Come, come! Lord Divine Bird, have a drink too!"

Under the "coaxing" and instigation of a group of ill-intentioned people, Clay also got a little carried away.

It struggled to hold a cup of wine with its two wings, and, imitating humans, tilted its head back and poured it into its pointed beak.

"Glug...cough cough cough!!"

Clearly, a bird's beak structure is not suitable for drinking from a cup.

Most of the liquid flowed down its feathers, with only a tiny amount entering its mouth.

In an instant, the once majestic black crow was transformed into a disheveled "drenched chicken," its feathers clinging wetly to its body.

"Hahaha! This bird is so stupid!"

"They've turned into drowned chickens!"

The onlookers burst into merciless laughter.

"Gah—!! Foolish human! What are you laughing at?!"

Enraged, Clay violently shook its body like a centrifuge.

"Splash!"

The wine and saliva on the feathers instantly splattered out, directly hitting the faces of those laughing guys.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! This dead bird!"

……

In a dimly lit corner of the banquet hall.

Viktor leaned back on the sofa, a glass of red wine in his hand.

His eyes looked dazed, as if he was already seven-tenths drunk, but the pupils beneath his double eyelids were perfectly clear as he silently observed the scene.

He yawned, hesitating whether he should take the opportunity to rest.

Just then.

A fragrant breeze wafted over.

"Vikto~"

Nami, flushed from drinking too much, staggered over.

Perhaps it was the courage emboldened by alcohol, or perhaps it was a subconscious dependence.

Ignoring the stares of those around her, Nami, emboldened by the alcohol, plopped down on Viktor's lap.

"Well……"

Viktor's body stiffened slightly for a moment.

Nami, however, was completely unaware. She reached out and softly wrapped her arms around Viktor's neck.

She pressed her burning cheek against his chest, muttering incoherently in her drunken state:

"Hiccup... Money... So much money... I want a drink too..."

Viktor sighed helplessly.

He adjusted his posture slightly to prevent her from slipping.

Then he reached out and gently embraced her slender waist, saying helplessly:

"Honestly, if you can't drink, just drink less. Why drink so much?"

"Hmm... because... I'm happy..."

Nami mumbled indistinctly, snuggling closer to Viktor like a kitten seeking warmth, and found a comfortable spot to close her eyes.

This scene was witnessed by Zoro, who was not far away.

Although Zoro was also drinking heavily, his other hand, which was holding the wine cup, never left the hilt of his sword.

He glanced at the couple in the corner who were being overly intimate, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

Noticing the gaze, Viktor looked up and met Zoro's eyes through the noisy crowd.

Viktor winked at Zoro and gave him a smile that only the two of them could understand.

Zoro understood immediately and nodded almost imperceptibly.

A knowing, cold smile simultaneously appeared on their lips.

The difference between hunter and prey is often just a thought away.

……

late at night.

The noisy banquet finally subsided.

The banquet hall was filled with people lying haphazardly.

Luffy had eaten so much that he had become a giant ball of flesh, and was now fast asleep on the table, his snot bubbles swirling in and out of shape.

Usopp and Sanji were both completely drunk. Nami, holding Clay, sat down in a chair and fell into a deep sleep.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, casting long shadows.

"Hehehe... Are they all finally asleep?"

The mayor, Ikaram, who had been all smiles, now wore a sinister grin.

He stood up, and behind him, Vivi, Mr. 9, and a large group of originally enthusiastic "townspeople" all pulled out knives, guns, and rocket launchers from the shadows, revealing their ferocious true colors.

They are bounty hunters for the Baroque Works.

"Have you checked it carefully?" Weiwei's innocent and adorable demeanor had vanished, replaced by a cold tone.

"Confirmed!"

Icarum pulled out a stack of bounty posters, looked at the numbers on them, and greedily licked his lips:

"Straw Hat Luffy 3000 million, Crimson Victor 2800 million, and that pirate hunter Zoro..."

"This is a huge success! If we can take them down, our ranking will rise again!"

A bounty hunter raised his large sword, grinning maliciously as he approached Luffy, who was snoring.

"Cut off their heads while they're asleep! That's the easiest way!"

The blade gleamed coldly in the moonlight, about to fall.

Just then.

"Although your wine is just average and your food isn't top-notch..."

A faint voice suddenly came from above everyone's heads, sounding particularly clear in the quiet night.

"Who?!" Icarus and the others were shocked and looked up sharply.

On the roof beam, Victor was sitting with a smile on his face.

He looked down at the group of clowns below, his red eyes, glowing in the darkness, like the gaze of a demon.

"As a token of my gratitude for your hospitality, I will spare your lives..."

Viktor said with a smile, his tone relaxed:

"However, my swordsman doesn't seem to be so easy to talk to."

The voice just fell.

"Clang—!!"

In a corner of the banquet hall, a sharp, cold glint flashed.

Zoro, who was still fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. The drunkenness in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling killing intent like that of a demon.

He slowly drew his sword, a smile spreading across his face as he looked at the group of panicked bounty hunters before him.

"Perfect, I'm too full..."

"I haven't exercised after dinner yet."
