One Piece – The Rise of Uchiha Itachi - Chapter 2 Leaving The Island

u003cThree years lateru003e

Not far from the shore, Itachi is currently standing right on his mast, a month ago he had made a simple boat to get out of the island. A sailing ship made of animal skin that is rolled up on a mast is ready to be opened for a cruise.

Itachi looked behind him, an island that was not too big, which contained many wild animals, but kept pleasant memories.

Suddenly Itachi disappeared and reappeared in a cave under a large tree. What Itachi had just used was a Flicker Jutsu made by Shisui Uchiha, her best friend. If Itachi uses a Normal Flicker Jutsu then he can use up half of his current Chakra, but because this Flicker Jutsu has been modified by Shisui, the use of his Chakra becomes much less, besides that this Flicker Jutsu can travel a maximum distance of 100 meters.

Itachi stood in the dark room, a room that contained capital for Itachi to live a life in this world, Itachi could not be thankful to the owner of the treasure in this room or to something that had moved him.

Itachi had also buried the body before, now in the dark room there was only a stone cube which was one of the Poneglyphs, Itachi could not save it or move the stone cube, so he would only leave it here.

Itachi leaned toward the tomb in front of the Poneglyph stone, after which he disappeared again and appeared on his ship. Itachi stretches his sails and prepares to sail.

From a distance suddenly seen a black dot moving toward Itachi, when the black dot is getting closer, seen a crow that is quite large and has red eyes. Then the crow rested on Itachi’s shoulder, the bird has been his pet for the past three years.

Three years ago, Itachi had experimented and combined this crow with his Kawarimi, usually the crow would die after the merging process, but at that time, the crow remained alive, so Itachi planned to maintain it, after all the crow looked very smart and understand what Itachi said.

Usually a Shinobi uses Kawarimi Jutsu to replace his body with a Wooden Log, but Itachi prefers crows because they can distract the opponent.

Having a huge natural chakra makes many wild animals feel comfortable near Itachi, which makes Itachi’s life very calm on the island, this is also the reason Itachi’s pet crow is very happy to follow him.

Like in the previous world, Itachi also applied a contract on his crow which turned out to be successful, with that contract Itachi will be able to feel the position wherever his pet is located, besides that he can also shift his gaze to his own crow.

Sailing alone made Itachi busy enough to control his ship, he began to miss his Kage Bunshin, because it would be very useful in situations like this.

Only an hour after the ship sailed, Itachi felt something from the sea that was heading for his ship very quickly. Itachi immediately jumped into the air. At that moment his ship exploded and was smashed to pieces.

Itachi was floating high in the air, he used the modified Geppo Moon Walk. Geppo Moon walk will usually make the user constantly kicking the air to float, but Itachi’s Geppo is different, just in one kick the air he can continue to float in the air for one minute before gravity pulls and must kick the air again.

Looking at his now out of shape ship, Itachi felt very angry, even though the ship was not large, but he made it very carefully for a month, and now the ship has been destroyed in an instant.

One hundred meters from the wreck of a ship, a huge monster and a length of about 300 meters was seen. Itachi knew that it was the king of the sea, but it looked young because it only had that size. According to the book read by Itachi, the adult Sea King has a size of almost a thousand meters.

Itachi looked at the sea king, he realized that the sea king was a sea dragon because it could be seen from the 3 horns on his head and mustache that was one third the size of his body, the sea dragon was quite rare and almost extinct, but Itachi did not care, anger could be seen in his eyes, Haoshoku Haki immediately came out of his body, making small waves around him.

The sea king immediately felt danger from Itachi, but his pride as a descendant of the Sea Dragon did not make him retreat. The sea dragon immediately fired a Water Cannon from his mouth, but the sea dragon became confused because the water Cannon did not hit anything, nor did he see or feel Itachi’s existence.

[Bang !!!]

A very hard punch suddenly hit the head of the Sea Dragon, the blow was so hard that it caused sea water to rise into the air due to the blast.

In just one blow the Sea Dragon realized that he had found the wrong opponent, he immediately forgot his pride as a Sea Dragon and immediately fled to the depths of the sea.

The sea dragon also has another ability, namely he can disguise his body so that it blends with the surrounding environment. But at this time the sea dragon could no longer escape, with his Kenbunshoku Haki and Sharingan, no one could hide in front of him.

The Sea Dragon swam very fast but Itachi immediately took out his Amaterasu before the Sea Dragon was out of its reach.

[Amaterasu !!]

The black flame burned the head of the Sea Dragon, but that did not stop him from swimming to the bottom of the sea, because he thought that the fire would be extinguished. But the thought was immediately lost because there was no change from the black flames, he even felt that the black flames were getting bigger.

“Roaarrrrr !!!”

The roar of a sea dragon inside the ocean can even be heard to the surface. After a while the Sea Dragon returned to the surface near Itachi while struggling in pain, Itachi knew that the sea dragon wanted him to extinguish his Amaterasu, but Itachi did not immediately extinguish it because he wanted to see the sea dragon’s boundary defenses.

Ten minutes passed and the sea dragon would soon reach its limit, if Amaterasu burned it longer, the sea dragon could die, then Itachi immediately extinguished it.

The sea dragon looked at Itachi, and vice versa. They stared at each other for a few seconds. Itachi could see severe burns on the head of the sea dragon, black smoke still kept coming out of his scorched wounds.

“Do you understand what I’m saying ??” Itachi asked.

The sea dragon nodded. Itachi realized that most of the animals in this world might understand what humans were saying like animals on the island he lived in.

“Because you have destroyed my ship, for now you will be my ship. Do you mind ??”

The Sea Dragon immediately shook its head quickly as if afraid that Itachi would get angry and would burn it again.

Then Itachi jumped on the head of the sea dragon and leaned on the horn on his head.

“Take me to the nearest island that has human settlements.”

The sea dragon immediately obeyed Itachi’s orders. The sea dragon swam very fast, and didn’t feel it. Several hours had passed. Itachi realized that this sea dragon was swimming more slowly because of the wound on his head.

Itachi channeled natural energy into the head of the sea dragon, slowly the wounds regenerated and healed his own wounds.

Realizing Itachi healed his wound, the sea dragon swam faster for fear of disappointing Itachi.

Several hours passed and Itachi still did not find a single island. At first he felt the sea dragon tricked him, but soon he got rid of that possibility, the sea dragon was too scared to even look at him.

Not feel a week has passed, Itachi still did not find a single island. His food supply had run out, at this time he planned to send the sea dragon to look for food.

As if someone had prepared it for him, he saw another sea king blocking his way. The sea dragon that Itachi was riding on immediately felt scared and wanted to run away because the sea king in front of them was far bigger than the Sea Dragon.

“You will fight it, it will be our food.” When Itachi said that, the sea dragon immediately shook his head quickly.

“You are a sea dragon, why are you afraid of an ordinary Sea King ??”

The sea dragon shook his head again, as if he knew what the sea dragon said, Itachi immediately said “The sea king only has a size bigger than you, I’m sure you’re stronger than him. Or do you … want to fight me ??”

“Roaarrrrr !!!”

As if his fear had disappeared, the sea dragon immediately attacked the Sea King who was bigger than him. The sea dragon no longer cared about the sea king, because he felt fighting with the sea king was thousands of times better than fighting with Itachi.

Itachi floating in the air looked towards the battle between the Sea King vs. the Sea Dragon. To be honest the fight was very boring because Itachi saw that the sea dragon was fighting like a pet rather than a wild beast.

Five hours had passed, with a body full of bite wounds, the sea dragon finally won the fight. Itachi only smiled slightly when looking at the sea dragon who looked at him as if asking for praise.

But what was said by Itachi immediately made the sea dragon shed tears, huh … this was not an expression but the sea dragon really shed tears.

“You’re so bad, with your strength you should be able to defeat him in an hour, and what’s with those injuries? You look like a snake who gave his body to be hurt.”

“But you have fought amazingly, and in fact you have killed him. So don’t be discouraged.”

Itachi then cut off the sea king’s meat for his food supply for one month and it even even took only a small portion of meat from the 500 meter body of the sea king, the rest will be given to the sea dragon.

At first the sea dragon was hesitant to take it, but after making sure Itachi really gave it to him, he immediately ate it gently.

Itachi who saw the way the sea dragon ate his prey, he felt confused then he asked the sea dragon.

“Is this your first time eating a sea king?” The sea dragon nodded his head while eating the sea king’s meat.

“Don’t tell me this is your first time killing a sea king ??” Itachi swore he could see that the sea dragon had a face flushed with embarrassment as he nodded his head.

“It’s not surprising if you look inexperienced when fighting. It seems like all this time you only eat creatures smaller than you. Alright, Hurry up and finish your meal, we’ll immediately continue our journey.”

Two days later an island could be seen in the distance, Itachi told the Sea Dragon to activate its disguised mode, at that moment their bodies were transparent because they were one with the environment, a few days ago Itachi realized that Itachi could blend into the sea dragon’s disguise, even though it was not which is too great because Itachi can do it too.

They arrived at the edge of the island, Itachi jumped from the head of the sea dragon, but at this time the sea dragon growled sadly as if he did not want to part with it which made Itachi confused.

“What more do you want ??”

“Roarr … Roarr !!”

“What? You want to come with me? That’s impossible, you’re too big.” Itachi seemed to understand what the sea dragon said.

“Roarr … !!”

“Ohh … do you want to be with me in the ocean? Yes, I don’t mind.”

The Sea Dragon then lowered his head and aimed it at Itachi, as if he knew what to do, Itachi then touched the Sea Dragon’s forehead.

What then happened to Itachi’s surprise because he felt a mental connection to the Sea Dragon, this was similar to the contract he made with the crow.

Itachi did not think that animals could also look for an employer and not only vice versa.

“Master, thank you for accepting me to be your student. I promise I will not disappoint you.” The Sea Dragon said through mental contact.

Although Itachi was surprised to see the Sea Dragon speaking in his mind, he soon calmed down.

“When did I make you my student? I don’t even know how to train the Sea King.” Itachi said.

“It’s alright master, I’m sure in the future master can train me.” The Sea Dragon said.

“Well, I’ll think about it, and don’t call me master, my name is Uchiha Itachi.”

“Yes, Itachi-sama.”

After chatting for a while, Itachi finally entered the island but not before telling his crows to look around.
