One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Two years later.

The world, once divided into countless regions by the Red Line, has fully adapted to the reconnected ocean.

As new shipping routes stabilized, new ports and cities continued to emerge.

For the first time, countries that were previously separated by the Grand Line and the Calm Belt began to interact frequently.

Merchant ships from the East China Sea can reach the North China Sea along the new ocean currents, and goods from the South China Sea can even appear in previously inaccessible New World ports within a month.

The world has become more prosperous as a result.

Similarly, it became even more chaotic.

Contrary to popular belief, the disappearance of the World Government did not bring an end to all wars and conflicts.

The absence of Im does not mean that humanity has suddenly lost its desires.

The absence of Celestial Dragons does not mean that there is no longer any struggle for interests between all countries.

Pirates will still exist, and wars will still break out.

Businessmen, underground forces, ambitious individuals, and even new extremist groups have never truly disappeared.

The navy became an independent maritime order force, responsible for major shipping route security, transnational crime, pirate suppression, and disaster relief.

As for what systems each country adopts, who becomes the king, and what laws should be enacted, the navy rarely intervenes proactively anymore.

The revolutionary army also underwent tremendous changes.

After their most important enemy disappeared, the entire organization began to gradually transform.

A large number of members went to various parts of the world to help countries that had just experienced regime change to establish new systems.

Some people simply choose to leave and return to a normal life.

As for what the world will become in the future.

Nobody knows.

But this is what they fought so hard for back then; the world no longer has a single answer.

……

In this gradually forming new world, there is one country whose development speed far exceeds everyone's initial expectations.

New Fishman Kingdom.

The archipelago that Shirahoshi and her group chose back then has now completely changed.

Large buildings now stand on the once deserted main island.

The port has been expanded from a natural bay that could only accommodate a few dozen ships to a giant port that can accommodate hundreds of large merchant ships at the same time.

The underwater portion is even more spectacular.

A vast underwater city, constructed from coral, special glass, and fishman technology, stretches from the shallow sea to the distant deep sea.

The land-based cities and the underwater cities are connected by several large channels.

Humans can enter the seabed through designated bubble areas, and fish-men and mermaids can also travel directly from underwater to the ground.

past.

For humans to truly enter the world inhabited by fish-people, they would need to take enormous risks and travel to a depth of 10,000 meters underwater.

Now, let's depart from the port.

It took less than half an hour.

At first, Neptune was worried that no one would be willing to come.

As it turned out, he was completely overthinking things.

With the seas reconnected, the new Merfolk Kingdom is situated at the intersection of several important new sea routes.

In addition, the area is part of All Blue, so you can find fish, ingredients, and marine plants from different seas here.

Not to mention Mermaid Street, the underwater forest, the newly formed coral sea, and the shallow-sea city that ordinary humans can enter.

In just a few years, it has become one of the most famous resorts in the world.

The port is full of ships from all over the world every day.

On the streets, you can see merchants from the North Sea, tourists from the South Sea, chefs from the East Sea, adventurers from the Grand Line, and even many giants who would almost never have ventured into human cities in the past.

In the past, the entry of fish-men and mermaids into the human world often meant danger.

Now, humans are lining up to come here.

Sometimes, during holidays, even hotels need to be booked months in advance.

When Neptune first heard that "a large number of human tourists complained about not being able to book underwater hotels," he sat there in silence for a long time.

In the end, he could only manage to utter one sentence.

"This world... is changing pretty fast."

……

The New Fishman Kingdom ultimately did not choose to join any large national group.

They declared permanent neutrality.

All nations, chambers of commerce, navies, and even ordinary pirate ships are welcome to enter the port, as long as they are willing to abide by the laws here.

Of course, it's not like no one has tried to cause trouble over the years.

Pirates once smashed up the shop after getting drunk.

Underground forces have attempted to secretly capture mermaids at the port.

There was even a short-sighted nobleman from a small country who thought that the old era was over and that the fish-men were easier to bully now that the World Government was no longer protecting them.

The next day, the group was transported to the naval base by the Sea Kings, ship and all.

Since then, similar incidents have decreased significantly.

After all, everyone knows that.

The key figure in this country is Neptune Shirahoshi, who can command the Sea Kings.

Behind her stands a group of people that almost no one in the world would dare to provoke.

The Straw Hat Pirates.

Especially a certain first mate.

Viktor has rarely actually taken action in recent years.

But the more this is the case, the less people want to test just how strong he has become.

……

this day.

The port on the main island of the New Fishman Kingdom is busier than usual.

the reason is simple.

A ship that everyone was extremely familiar with had once again docked in the harbor.

The Thousand Sunny.

Years have passed, and the Sunny's appearance hasn't changed much; it's just that Franky has added countless random new features to it.

As soon as the port opened, Franky stood at the bow of the ship and raised his hands.

"Did you see that!"

"This is the latest upgraded version of the Sunny!"

"SUPER—!"

Before she could finish speaking, Nami had already thrown a punch.

"You just said last month that we weren't allowed to keep making unauthorized modifications to the ship!"

"That's not just random changes!" Franky yelled, clutching his head. "That's an upgrade!"

"You call installing a thruster under the kitchen a upgrade?!"

"Very useful in an emergency escape!"

"Who would escape from the kitchen?!"

The familiar argument had barely begun when an even more familiar voice came from afar.

"Feed—!!"

Everyone turned their heads.

Luffy charged over from the other side of the dock.

Several years have passed.

He looked much more mature, but the smile on his face remained almost unchanged. He still wore his straw hat, and Ace and Sabo followed behind him.

Luffy waved as he ran.

"Everyone!!"

Usopp was the first to stick his head out of the ship.

"Luffy!"

The next second, he suddenly thought of something.

"etc!"

"Why did you come from that side?!"

Luffy paused in his tracks.

"Because I accidentally got on the wrong boat! Hehehe!"

Nami: "..."

Usopp: "..."

Sabo sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation, while Ace laughed so hard he almost lost his balance.

"That idiot was supposed to arrive yesterday, but he ended up boarding a ship bound for the South China Sea."

Nami's forehead veins bulged instantly.

"You're the Pirate King!! The King of the Sea!"

Luffy didn't care at all.

"Didn't we finally arrive?"

"That's not the point at all!"

……

Before long, more familiar faces began to appear.

Sanji came directly from the floating restaurant not far from the port.

Over the years, the Barratier All Blue restaurant he and Jep opened has become one of the most famous restaurants in this area.

Because there were so many guests, several more boats were later added.

As soon as Sanji boarded the ship, he lit a cigarette.

"I really miss it. Is the kitchen still the same?"

Nami glanced at him.

"Except for the fact that Franky secretly installed thrusters on him."

Sanji turned his head instantly.

"What did you put in my kitchen?!"

Franky: "..."

"It's only for emergency use!"

"Damn it! Tear it apart!"

The two quickly started arguing.

Chopper, on the other hand, returned from the Drum Kingdom.

Over the years, he has developed the treatment methods he developed during the final war into a complete system, and even frequently holds doctor exchange meetings around the world.

So when Luffy boarded the ship, he just said something casually.

"Chopper, you're amazing now!"

Chopper immediately started twisting and turning on the spot.

"Even if you praise me like that, I won't be happy, you jerk!"

As he spoke, he laughed so hard he could hardly close his mouth.

Usopp arrived earlier.

But this time was different from the past; Kaya was with him.

Usopp still goes out to sea frequently over the years, but he returns to Syrup Village every now and then, and Kaya occasionally travels with him.

Now, all the children in Xiluobu village know this.

In the stories Captain Usopp told when he was a child—

At least half of it is true.

of course.

The remaining half.

Or was it just something he bragged about himself...

……

Brooke has also returned.

Rabbu is located in the open sea. Over the years, Brooke has spent most of her time with Rabbu, but she still occasionally goes out to sea to perform.

However, nowadays, he always reserves a very special spot at each of his major concerts.

Give it to a whale.

As for Zoro, he was the last to arrive.

Everyone waited for a long time.

It wasn't until the sun was almost setting that a figure carrying three knives finally appeared in the distance.

Zoro's face darkened as he saw the reproachful looks on everyone's faces.

"The road is a bit hard to find."

Sanji burst out laughing instantly.

"Hundreds of ships come to this island every day now, how come you can't find it?"

"Shut up, you stinking cook."

"You didn't go to another country again, did you?"

Zoro's forehead vein throbbed. "Want to die?"

The next second, the two were already fighting.

Everyone who saw this suddenly burst into laughter.

Several years have passed.

As expected, nothing has changed.

……

Viktor, Nami, and Robin have continued to live together for most of the years.

They did not live in one place permanently.

Sometimes I stay in the new Murloc Kingdom.

Sometimes we would take the Sunny to new sea areas that had not yet been fully mapped out.

Nami has almost finished drawing most of the reconnected world map.

Robin published several books on the Void Century and the First Civilization, and her compiled historical materials can now be found in schools around the world.

As for Viktor, he has actually become quite idle in recent years.

There is no system, no enemies, and no objective that must be achieved.

Occasionally, he helps Shirahoshi with problems that the new Fishman Kingdom can't solve.

Most of the time, he simply accompanies Nami and Robin on their travels.

of course.

The so-called "leisure".

Only relatively speaking.

Bai Xing has clearly become busier and busier over the years, but she hasn't let up at all on pushing forward certain things.

Whenever Hiyori has the opportunity to leave Wano Country, she often comes here under the guise of visiting the New Fishman Kingdom.

So in a sense.

Victor even thought...

The biggest change in the past few years has not been how many countries the world has rebuilt.

Rather, I have gradually learned it myself.

When should one remain silent?

……

That evening, in the largest square of the New Fishman Kingdom.

A banquet was held again.

The scale is certainly far smaller than the one when the world was reconnected.

But for the Straw Hat crew, it was even more exciting.

Everyone is here.

Luffy was holding a large piece of meat, while Ace and Sabo sat beside him drinking.

Usopp had already begun telling a group of fish-man children about his new adventures over the years, while Kaya sat beside him, listening with a smile.

Sanji and Zeff were busy in the kitchen.

Chopper was surrounded by several fish-man doctors who asked him questions.

Franky then led a group of craftsmen to show off his newly modified machinery.

Zoro leaned against a barrel, drinking, while Brook played the violin.

Shirahoshi sat on the other side of the square, with Hiyori beside her.

Victor sat with Nami and Robin in a slightly quieter spot.

Nami looked at the scene before her and suddenly said softly:

"It feels like it's been a long time since so many people have gathered together."

Robin smiled and nodded. "Everyone has their own lives now."

Previously, the Straw Hat crew spent almost every day together.

Things are different now.

Usopp will return to Kaya's side.

Sanji has his own restaurant.

Chopper often practices medicine in various countries.

Franky will travel back and forth between Water Seven and the New Fishman Kingdom.

Brooke stayed with Raab.

Luffy no longer has to stay on the Sunny every day.

Everyone has a new life now.

But Victor looked at Luffy in the distance, who was fighting Ace for meat.

"But this guy probably hasn't changed."

Nami followed his gaze. "That's true."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy suddenly stopped moving.

He seemed to remember something and looked up at everyone.

Then, a very familiar smile slowly appeared on his face.

Usopp was the first to realize something was wrong.

"Wait, Luffy!"

Luffy had already stood up, and Usopp's expression changed instantly.

"What's with that expression?"

Nami frowned as well, and for some reason, a long-lost sense of foreboding suddenly surfaced.

Luffy had already jumped onto the table.

"I heard it from someone on the ship that came here!"

Everyone instinctively fell silent.

"Now, at the westernmost point of the world, there is a new sea area!"

Nami's eyebrows twitched.

Luffy continued excitedly, "The ocean currents there have only recently stabilized, and it seems they've discovered several islands that no one has ever been to before!"

Usopp slowly put the cup down from his hand.

"No....."

Luffy's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"I've heard there's also a super-sized sea monster!"

Chopper's eyes lit up, and Usopp grabbed him suddenly.

"Chopper! Don't get dragged in!"

Luffy was completely excited.

"And nobody knows what's inside!"

Nami stared at him. "So?"

Luffy grinned.

Years have passed, but that smile is still exactly the same as when they first set sail.

They didn't change because they became the Pirate King, nor did they change because the world had come to an end with them.

It hasn't changed just because everyone now has their own life.

He simply held down his straw hat, then laughed and opened his arms wide.

"Everyone!"

"Let's go on another adventure together!"

The square fell silent for a moment.

The next second, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper stood up almost simultaneously.

"No!!!"

The loud shouts echoed throughout the entire port.

Luffy, however, was already laughing so hard he was rolling around on the table.

Hahahaha!

Usopp jumped up in anger: "What are you laughing at! I'm a married man now!"

Kaya, sitting next to her, suddenly smiled and said, "But your eyes clearly lit up when you heard about Niijima just now."

Usopp froze instantly.

"Kaya?!"

Chopper was still hesitating. "If there really are new medicinal herbs..."

"Chopper!!" Nami immediately turned her head. "Don't waver!"

Sanji emerged from the kitchen, a cigarette dangling from his lips. "There should be new ingredients in the new sea."

Zoro had finished his drink. "When are we leaving?"

Nami turned around instantly.

"Why did you all agree to go so quickly?!"

Franky raised his hands.

"The Sunshine has just completed its new upgrade!"

"SUPER is perfect for long voyages!"

Brooke plucked a string.

"Then it seems I should prepare a new adventure theme."

Robin chuckled softly.

"It seems like it's beyond stopping now."

Nami took a deep breath and turned to look at Viktor.

"Aren't you going to say something?"

Victor glanced at Luffy on the table, then at the others who had already started discussing the new route.

Finally, I raised my glass.

"I think... the captain is right."

Nami: "..."

"Victor!!"

The entire square burst into laughter once again.

..........

A new world order was established, and the fish-men formed a new nation.

Everyone has their own life now.

But as long as that straw hat reappears on the bow of the boat.

If Luffy shouts it one more time...

These people will eventually get back on the same boat.

For them, the sea never truly ends.

And adventure.

Of course, it's the same!

Luffy stood at the very front, facing the sea breeze blowing from afar, holding down his straw hat, and once again revealing that smile that everyone knew so well.

"So—everyone!"

"The Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Let's set sail again!"

"Hehehe!"

———The End———

And with that, the book is truly finished.

What moved me most was that even until the very last chapter, people were still reading.

So, the most important thing I want to say here is this:

thank you all.

Thank you so much everyone, thank you for reading this far.

As for why ONE PIECE ended up the way it is now, my thinking has always been very simple.

ONE PIECE.

"A complete ocean."

I've always felt that its most important aspect is probably its most direct literal meaning.

Of course, this is just my own understanding. I don't know what the real ONE PIECE is or whether Oda-sensei will write it this way in the end.

But at least in this book, I really want this answer to be true.

Because once the Red Earth disappears and the four seas are truly connected, many things can be accomplished together.

Sanji met All Blue, Nami had a world map that needed to be redrawn, Brook was no longer blocked by the Red Line, and Shirahoshi and the Fish-Men truly came under the sun.

Including Mrs. Shirley's prophecy.

Luffy did indeed "destroy" Fishman Island in the end.

However, what he destroyed was not the future of the fish-men.

It was the old era that restricted fish-men and mermaids to living only 10,000 meters below the sea.

As for Joy Boy and Im, I think what they represent is quite obvious.

One is freedom.

One is order.

A while ago, I saw a theory on TikTok that suggested Joy Boy and Im might be David Jones' monkey and parrot, respectively.

My first reaction when I saw it was—this conjecture is really interesting.

It's even more vivid than simply summarizing it with "freedom" and "order".

The monkey wanted to open the cage, while the parrot preferred to stay inside.

One wants to open, the other wants to close.

This aligns perfectly with my understanding of Joy Boy and Im.

So when I was writing the final chapter, I also included this conjecture in the book.

I personally quite like this ending.

At least ONE PIECE has been found.

Everyone's dreams have truly come true.

The story ends here.

But the sea has no end, and neither do their adventures!

Finally, the author has one small request.

I hope you can give me a five-star review. Thank you again!
