Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece

"It seems that it's impossible to sail the seas normally anymore; we'll soon have a bounty on our heads."

While the Marines were preoccupied with their own problems, Uchiha Hakuba still felt the lingering sensation of Lightning Release chakra on his fingertips.

He glanced at Bao'er, who was lying on the ground, barely breathing, and his crimson Sharingan suddenly contracted, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his foot and stomped on Bao'er's neck. The crisp sound of bones breaking, accompanied by a faint groan, completely ended the life of this CP intelligence agent.

Let's go!

Shiraha's voice, carried by the howling sea breeze, reached Rangiku, Robin, and Connor's ears.

The moment he turned around, chakra exploded beneath his feet, and the extreme speed of his lightning release transformed him into a pale blue streak of light, hurtling straight toward the jet-black speedboat at the edge of the dock.

He also needs to be responsible for clearing the way ahead.

As for Matsumoto Rangiku, with a flick of her wrist, the Snow Clearing Longsword returned to its sheath. Amidst the crisp sound of the sheaths clashing, she touched the ground with her toes, her figure like a graceful swallow, closely following Bai Yu.

She was equally fast, while Nicole Robin followed at a leisurely pace. Her hands swept lightly across her sides, and dozens of arms suddenly burst forth from the ground beneath the dock, like agile tentacles, violently slamming the naval soldiers who tried to stop her to the ground.

"A Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom - Wrist Whip!"

Robin gave a soft shout, and his arm suddenly stretched out like a flexible whip, lashing hard at the side of a small naval vessel that was trying to approach.

With a sharp "crack," the gunwale of the small boat was torn open, and seawater rushed in instantly, causing the naval soldiers on board to fall into the sea.

Connor, with her short legs, followed at the very back, her face flushed with excitement, and she would occasionally turn back to make a face at the pursuing naval soldiers.

Several naval soldiers tried to surround the seemingly harmless little girl, but were tripped up by Nico Robin.

Uchiha Hakuba was the first to leap onto the ship's side. He placed his palm on the rudder, then twisted his wrist sharply, causing the rudder to creak heavily. The ship instantly changed direction, its bow pointing straight out to the sea.

"Raise the sails!"

Uchiha Hakuba's voice was incredibly penetrating.

Rangiku leaped onto the mast, her hands flying swiftly across the sail ropes. The ropes, which had been loose, tightened automatically under the pull, as if the massive sails were being tugged by an invisible hand.

It unfolded completely in a flash.

The sea breeze howled and rushed into the sails, the ship shuddered violently, and shot off into the depths of the sea like an arrow.

Robin also brought Connor aboard the ship. Her gaze fell on the pursuing naval fleet behind them, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Although more than ten warships were caught off guard by Uchiha Hakuba's Lightning Release, a large ship is still a large ship, and the damage to one ship does not affect the overall function of the ship.

As the navy recovered, they turned their cannons around, and the muzzles of the naval warships were flashing with fire as shells, trailing long plumes of black smoke, hurtled toward their speedboats like meteors.

"Bai Yu, their artillery fire is too intense!"

Robin's voice carried a hint of solemnity.

A smile crept onto Bai Yu's lips as his Sharingan stared intently at the incoming projectiles. Lightning Release chakra surged wildly in his palm, blue lightning crackling like dragons.

"Chidori - Thousand Bones!"

Bai Yu suddenly raised his hand, and the lightning in his hand suddenly surged. In an instant, the Thousand Birds transformed into thin strands of senbon, piercing through all the cannonballs and causing them to explode in mid-air.

"Now's the time! Speed ​​up!"

Uchiha Hakuba twisted his wrist again, turning the rudder to its limit. The speedboat lurched to one side, darting through the turbulent waves like a fish swimming nimbly.

The naval fleet behind them was immediately thrown into chaos. On the lead warship, a rear admiral watched Bai Yu and his group disappear into the distance, his face turning ashen with rage. He drew his sword and roared, "Chase them! Keep them pinned down! Don't let these scum of the sea get away!"

Then, more than ten warships accelerated, like a dark swarm of sharks, creating towering waves on the sea, and relentlessly pursued them.

Bai Yu stood at the helm, his sharp gaze fixed on the sea ahead.

"Mana Acceleration! Start!"

"Boom..."

The sea breeze, carrying a salty, damp scent, swept past the ship's hull. The purple arc of light had long since faded; the mana thrusters had stopped operating, and the ship carrying Uchiha Shiraha and the others had entered low-power cruising mode.

At this moment, the sea was dyed a warm orange-red by the setting sun.

A grand feast had already been laid out on the deck. Sizzling pieces of meat on the grill dripped golden fat onto the charcoal fire, sending up wisps of smoke. The fragrant heat, mixed with the sea breeze, permeated the entire ship. Uchiha Shiraha's puppets were working diligently.

As the cork of the barrel was pried open with a bang, the amber liquid gushed into the ceramic cup, making a crisp sound, and the foam slowly slid down the side of the cup.

Rangiku started accepting the doll's services again and became the queen of slacking off.

Connor hugged a roasted leg that was bigger than his head, took a bite, his cheeks bulging, oil smeared all over his face, and even the stray hairs on his forehead were covered with bits of meat.

After finishing her meal, she squatted down next to the barbecue grill, watching the sizzling, oily skewers of meat grilled by the dolls, while keeping a wary eye on Matsumoto Rangiku.

She already knew that this woman was very evil and would steal snacks from children.

Connor clutched the skewer in his little hand, mumbling incoherently, "I got this one first! Don't you dare take it!"

Rangiku, a mocking smile playing on her lips, held the other end of the skewer between her fingers. She deliberately gave it a light tug, watching Connor stumble and nearly fall into the skewers before reaching out to steady her by the back of her collar. "Little one," she said, "so weak, you dare try to take it from me?"

As she said this, she still handed the freshly grilled skewer to Connor's mouth, and watched the little guy take a big bite and devour half of it, her smile widening.

She casually picked up the wine jug beside her, tilted her head back and took a big gulp, the cool wine sliding down her throat.

"Ah~! That feels so good."

Robin sat on the side of the boat, a soft blanket beneath her, her skirt draped over her shoulders, her gaze fixed on the horizon where the water met the sky, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Sauro, I've found a partner I can trust."

On the plate beside her were several neatly cut pieces of fruit. Occasionally, she would pick up a piece, take a slow and deliberate bite, and let the sweet juice spread across her tongue.

Her gaze occasionally swept over the two people playing around on the deck, and a hint of tenderness would appear in her eyes.

This is wonderful; this is a scene that she and her friends should protect together.
