One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

After the avalanche, the snowfield returned to a suffocatingly silent state.

Only the cold wind whipped up the snowflakes on the ground, emitting a mournful wail.

"Puhaha!!"

A hand suddenly burst through the thick snow, and then Luffy's head, wearing a straw hat, popped out.

He was panting heavily, his face red from the cold.

Not far away, another snowdrift was also pushed aside.

Viktor, holding Nami tightly in his arms, struggled to climb out.

His black overcoat was soaked, and his face was as pale as paper.

That "Great Fire Annihilation" attack against the avalanche had almost drained his chakra.

He immediately looked down at Nami in his arms.

Fortunately, because he used his body as a shield at the last moment, Nami was not affected by the impact.

Her face was still flushed from the high fever, and although her breathing was rapid, it was still relatively steady.

"Phew... I'm still alive."

Viktor breathed a sigh of relief; the feeling of exhaustion almost made him collapse to the ground.

"Hehehe! I survived!"

Luffy brushed the snow off his straw hat, put it on with a grin, and then looked around but didn't see Sanji.

"Sanji!! Where are you?!"

Ignoring the cold, he frantically dug through the snow like a groundhog.

Finally, he pulled Sanji out from beside a tree that was half buried.

"Clay!!" Victor shouted in a hoarse voice.

"puff!"

A sharp bird beak first emerged from the snowdrift in the distance, followed by Klein's dark figure emerging in a disheveled state.

It thrashed its body wildly, scattering snowflakes everywhere:

"Giggle!! Grandpa's here! I almost froze into an icicle! Giggle!"

However, a terrified scream came from Luffy's side:

"Sanji!! Wake up!! Hey!!"

Luffy shook Sanji's body, but found no response. Terrified, tears streamed down his face: "Viktor!! Sanji's dead!! He's not moving!!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Viktor forced himself to move over, summoning the last bit of chakra in his body, and placed his fingers on Sanji's neck to examine him.

"How could he just die like that..."

Viktor sensed it and frowned:

"His spine took a heavy hit... During the avalanche, he took the brunt of the impact with his body. He's unconscious from the pain and shock."

Luffy burst into tears of joy and immediately hugged Sanji. "That's great!"

The current situation is dire.

Nami has a persistent high fever, and Sanji is seriously injured and unconscious.

Only Luffy and Viktor, who had run out of chakra, remained.

To make matters worse, the winding mountain road that led to the summit had been completely destroyed by an avalanche.

At this moment, all that remained standing before them was the towering, cylindrical stone mountain thousands of meters high—Cigu Mountain.

That's the only way.

"We have to climb up!"

Luffy did not hesitate at all.

He tightly bound the unconscious Sanji to his back with rope, gritting his teeth as he stared at the towering mountain peak:

"We must save them!!"

"Should we climb up...?"

Viktor carried Nami on his back and secured her with a scarf.

He tried to refine chakra, wanting to absorb it from the rock wall in a ninja way, but his body was already empty.

"Oh……"

Looking at this despairing height, Viktor gave a bitter smile:

"It seems... we can only resort to the most primitive method."

There is no way out.

"Let's go!!"

Luffy roared and, ignoring the cold, charged towards the rock wall with both hands and feet.

He had no claws, so he could only use his fingers to forcefully insert into the crevices of the cold, hard rock.

Viktor followed closely behind.

Although it doesn't have the abnormal physique of the Gum-Gum Fruit, nor the boost from chakra.

But with his honed ninja taijutsu and iron will, he gripped the crevice in the rock and climbed upwards step by step.

Clay flapped his wings below, occasionally acting as a fulcrum to assist Viktor.

And behind the shadows of the trees below.

A little blue-nosed reindeer was hiding there, silently raising its head.

He stared in awe at the two tiny black dots in the snow, which looked like ants but were slowly moving upwards.

……

Halfway up the mountain.

The wind howled like a knife, and the temperature had dropped to tens of degrees below zero.

Luffy and Victor had long since lost feeling in their hands and feet, and were moving solely on instinct.

"call--!!"

Suddenly, a violent crosswind struck without warning.

Luffy slipped, and the rock he was standing on cracked.

"ah!!"

Luffy lost his balance and fell backward, about to plunge into the abyss.

"brush!!"

A hand, frozen purple, grabbed Luffy's ankle at the last second.

Viktor gripped the crevice in the rock with one hand, his fingernails snapping and bleeding profusely.

With his other hand supporting the weight of Luffy and Sanji, he was like a taut bow.

"Gah!!"

Clay also flew up desperately, grabbing Luffy's collar tightly with his mouth and flapping his wings frantically to help share some of the weight.

"Huff... huff..."

Veins bulged on Viktor's forehead as he gasped for breath, a roar born of reaching his physical limit.

"Hold on tight... Captain!!"

"We're almost there! Don't... fall now!!"

Luffy hung upside down in the air, looking at Viktor's hand above him, which was frozen purple, and his eyes welled up with tears.

He suddenly used his waist strength to grab the rock face again.

"Oh!! Absolutely not!!"

……

A hellish climb that lasted several hours.

When the sun sets and night falls.

Two hands covered in blood finally reached the very edge of the top of Cigu Mountain.

Luffy was covered in blood, and his fingernails were curled up.

Viktor had also pushed his will to its limit, clinging to life by sheer willpower.

The two climbed over the rocks and fell onto the snow in front of the castle.

My vision is already blurred.

Before they completely lost consciousness, they saw a strange blue-nosed creature (Chopper) and a white-haired old woman (Dr. Kureha) dressed in stylish punk clothes and holding plum wine, standing at the castle gate watching them.

"Help me..."

Luffy and Victor collapsed simultaneously in the snow, their last lingering thoughts still murmuring:

"Save...our comrade..."

"Gahhh!!"

Clay, who flew up, was also exhausted.

It wept bitterly, then collapsed to the ground in front of the two of them, repeatedly banging its head against the snow.

"Gaga! Please!! Save these old men!!"

Dr. Gureva raised an eyebrow, looking at the wounded soldiers on the ground and the kowtowing crow.

"Oh? A talking crow?"

She crossed her arms, a look of surprise mixed with amusement on her face:

"This is truly a rare guest."

Little Chopper, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed and hid behind Kureha.

……

I don't know how much time passed.

warmth.

This was Nami's first feeling after regaining consciousness.

She slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying on a soft, large bed, the firelight from the fireplace illuminating the room.

"Are you awake?"

Nami turned her head and saw a little reindeer with a blue nose that walked on two legs, hiding behind the door frame and peeking at her.

However... this guy completely dodged in the wrong direction.

It left its body exposed and hid its face behind the door, thinking that this way no one could see it.

Nami blinked and spoke weakly:

"That's... a tanuki?"

"asshole!!!"

Upon hearing those two words, Chopper instantly bristled, leaping out from behind the door and roaring while waving his hooves:

"I'm a reindeer!! Not a raccoon dog!!"

"Huh?!" Nami covered her mouth in surprise. "It can talk?!"

Just then, a fragrant aroma of wine wafted over.

"You seem to be in good spirits, young lady."

The door was pushed open.

Dr. Kureha, a 130-something-year-old "witch" with a hot figure, wearing a crop top, walked in with an air of indifference, holding a bottle of plum wine.

She walked to the bedside, looked down at Nami, and adjusted her sunglasses:

"Want to know who I am? Want to know my secret to staying young?"

"No... I don't want to..." Nami shook her head subconsciously.

"Now that you're awake, let's talk about medical expenses."

Kureha grinned, a smile that sent chills down Nami's spine:

"in addition……"

Gureva pointed to the room next door, her tone softening slightly:

"Those two men who carried you up this snow-capped mountain with their bare hands... are still fast asleep like dead pigs."

"What a bunch of idiots who just mess around."
