One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

At the edge of the jungle clearing in the small garden, the setting sun, like blood, dyed this ancient island a magnificent orange-red.

At the foot of the distant volcano, the battle between the two behemoths continued.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Each clash between the greatsword and the battle axe was accompanied by a deafening roar, and violent shockwaves swept around like a typhoon, causing the earth to tremble in agony.

The Straw Hat crew (except for Sanji, who was busy preparing food) and Vivi were sitting on a rock in the safe zone watching the battle.

"Gulp..."

Usopp held Clay the raven tightly in his arms, as if he were clutching his only lifeline.

Looking at the devastating attack ahead, he swallowed hard, then forced himself to puff out his chest and boasted:

"That's quite exaggerated... But, this level of destructive power is only about 30% of my strength as a warrior, Usopp."

Clay, nestled in his arms, rolled his eyes dramatically, giving him a look as if he were an idiot.

"Gah...do you have any shame?"

Nami, standing to the side, sighed helplessly and retorted without holding back:

"You might be more persuasive if your legs didn't shake like a sieve when you spoke."

Finally, with a final, earth-shattering roar.

"BOOM—!!"

The weapons in the hands of the Blue Demon Tori and the Red Demon Broki were simultaneously deflected.

The two mountain-like figures, exhausted at the same time, fell backward and crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

"714396... A draw!!"

The two lay on the ground, looking at the sky, and burst into hearty laughter:

"Hahaha! Another tie, Brogy!"

"Gigigagagaga! Looks like we won't be able to decide a winner today, Dorry!"

Just as the two were laughing.

"Whoosh—!"

A red shadow suddenly stretched out, and Luffy used his rubber arm to launch himself like a slingshot, landing steadily on the shoulder of the sweat-drenched Dorry.

"Feed—! Big guy!!"

Luffy stood beside the giant's ear, cupped his hands into a megaphone, and shouted:

"The fight's over, you must be hungry!"

"Let's have a feast!! My chef made tons and tons of dinosaur meat!!"

Donald and Brogy exchanged a glance, their weariness instantly replaced by joy.

"Giggle giggle! Jijiji! What an interesting little guy!"

"Alright!! Let's have a banquet then!! For the glory of Elbaf!!"

……

Night falls, and the stars twinkle.

A huge bonfire rose in the open space, its flames licking the night sky.

The air was filled with the rich aroma of meat.

Sanji used the giant dinosaur meat on the island to create an unprecedented super barbecue feast.

"Cheers!!!"

The giants raised their barrel-sized cups and drank deeply, the liquid flowing down their beards.

In the firelight, Dorry and Brogy recounted the glory of Elbaf, the homeland of the giants.

It tells the story of the warriors' faith and how, for the past century, they have fought a sacred duel day after day for a reason they had long forgotten.

"Waaaaah... This is so touching..."

Usopp was moved to tears, and snot even got into his mouth:

"This is the romance of men! Elbaf... I'll go there someday!!"

Zoro, holding his sake bottle, looked at the two wounded yet still heroic warriors, his eyes filled with deep respect:

"Is this the pure spirit of a warrior...?"

After hearing the story, Luffy scratched his head with a regretful expression:

"What a pity... those two uncles are so interesting."

He looked at the giant and said earnestly, "I was originally planning to invite you aboard the ship and make you my companions."

Upon hearing Luffy's words, the two giants exchanged a glance and burst into laughter in unison.

"Hahahaha!!"

"Gigigagaga!! You're such a funny little guy!!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Nami, Usopp, Zoro, and Sanji instantly sprang into action, each delivering a punch to Luffy's head in perfect unison, unleashing furious roars:

"Why do I always want to write about things I can't do?"

"Are you trying to kill someone?! The ship will sink!! You idiot!!!"

"Our Going Merry doesn't want to retire so soon!!"

……

On the other side of the campfire.

Vic sat on the ground with his legs crossed, having just finished eating a large, juicy dinosaur rib.

He glanced at his greasy hands, then at Clay, who was squatting on a rock eating his food.

Victor casually reached out and grabbed Klein's shiny black wing.

"Swish swish".

He wiped his hands clean from the grease on Clay's smooth feathers.

"Huh?!"

Clay snapped awake, staring at his gleaming wings, and cried out in grief and indignation, "Sir?! How could you do this to me?!"

Victor ignored Clay's protests and casually stuffed a piece of meat bone into its mouth to shut it up.

Then, he raised his head, his black eyes flashing with a serious light in the firelight, and looked at the two giants.

"Two seniors."

"I apologize if I may presume to ask you a question."

He pointed to the distant, severed mountain peaks and land:

"Your attacks just now, which could split the earth and even cut through the air... they contained 'Haki,' right?"

"Domineering?"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar term, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji all stopped what they were doing and turned around with blank expressions.

"What's that? Is it tasty?" Luffy asked.

Victor didn't answer directly, but looked at his companions, his expression turning serious:

"Remember Smoker, the smoke guy from Loguetown?"

"In the Grand Line, there will be more and more creatures with strange abilities like them, and even 'logic' monsters whose bodies can become elemental and make physical attacks completely ineffective."

"Luffy's fists can't hit the smoke, and Zoro's swords can't cut through the fluid."

"Faced with such an enemy, if we don't possess special powers, we'll only have to run away."

"And the only way to fight them is to master—'dominance'."

"Hateful..." Zoro touched the hilt of his sword, the feeling of powerlessness he had when facing Smoker in Loguetown flashing through his mind.

His eyes sharpened instantly. "So that's how it is... Is that the power that can sever the 'invisible'?"

"No wonder that guy with the smoke was so arrogant." Sanji took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring. "Looks like kicking skills alone aren't enough."

Luffy's eyes lit up instantly, and he jumped up, shouting at the giant:

"Domineering?! Is that something that can hit the Smoke Man?!"

"Teach us! Teach us! You two old men!! I want to beat that guy in the smoke to a pulp!!"

Donley and Brogy looked at Victor with some surprise.

"Oh? I didn't expect someone as short as you to know this."

Brogy put down his glass and laughed loudly, saying:

"Although we don't understand your complex theories, nor do we know about the classification of 'dominance,' in Elbaf, it's the innate spirit of a warrior!"

Dongli nodded, then solemnly added:

"That is the technique of transforming one's own 'will' into invisible 'armor' and 'weapons'."

"Only those with the strongest convictions can unleash this power to strike the enemy's physical form or even intimidate ferocious beasts."

The two giants looked into Luffy's eyes, which were filled with longing and determination, and smiled with admiration.

"Since it was a friend's request, and you even saved our lives..."

"Alright! We'll pass on our century of combat experience to you!"

How much you can understand depends on your own comprehension!

At the end of the banquet.

The two giants raised their enormous wine bowls, facing the starry sky and the group of young pirates:

"For this delicious meal! And for your courage!"

"From this day forward, you are our friends in Elbaf forever!!"

"Let's conquer the sea, Straw Hat Crew!!"

"oh!!!"

Everyone raised their glasses and erupted in a thunderous cheer: "Cheers!!!"

Late at night.

Nami and Vivi were already fast asleep.

However, none of the Straw Hat crew's main members—Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Victor, and Usopp—slept.

Under the guidance of the giants, and by the light of the moon, they began their first training session since entering the Grand Line on this ancient island... a special training called "Haki".
