Chapter 4: One Piece World
---
In the Another world
In the heart of a dense forest, a space-time passage shimmered into existence. One by one, over two hundred members of the Uchiha clan emerged, disoriented yet alert, as they stepped into a new world.
The scenery resembled their home—blue skies, towering trees, and lush vegetation—but something felt different. Moments ago, it had been night in Konoha, yet here, it was broad daylight. A sense of unease swept through the group, and confusion began to stir.
Uchiha Fugaku, still processing the situation, turned to Kitaro, "Kitaro, where are we?"
Kitaro shook his head. "I'm not entirely sure. The transfer is random each time, and this world is vast. I only know a small part of it."
Fugaku quickly composed himself and issued orders. "Itachi, scout the area. The rest of you, stay put and remain vigilant."
Itachi, ever efficient, vanished into the forest.
Fugaku then turned to Kitaro. "Based on what we know about this world, what should be our first course of action? And what do we need to avoid?"
Kitaro paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts. "Actually, our clan already has significant advantages in this world, so there's no need to worry. The Uchiha aren't weak. Our priority should be to find a safe location first."
Fugaku listened carefully to Kitaro's words nooding. "But we can't afford to act rashly, we must be prepared for anything," Fugaku said, his tone firm.
Just then, Itachi returned swiftly. "It's an island. There's a village at its center, but something unusual... all the inhabitants are women. I didn't see a single man. There are giant statues of snake-like monsters surrounding the area, and engraved into the mountainside are the characters: 'Nine Snakes (Kuja).'"
"Snakes?"
Fugaku's expression darkened at the mention of snakes, recalling an old foe. "Orochimaru?" he muttered under his breath.
But Kitaro interjected, "No, this is a different world. This place is known as Amazon Lily, a country located in the Calm Belt."
"What? Brother Kitaro, is it troublesome here?" Shisui asked, noticing Kitaro's frowning expression.
Kitaro nodded, a hint of concern in his voice. "Yes, this is the Calm Belt, and dealing with this country could be a headache."
Seeing The Uchiha members were unfamiliar with these terms, Kitaro continued, "The Calm Belt is dangerous. The sea surrounding this island is home to enormous creatures called Sea Kings. The smallest of them make the Nine Tails look tiny."
"WHAT?"
Gasps echoed among the group. The memory of Nine Tails' destructive size five years prior still haunted their minds.
Kitaro elaborated, "But the Sea Kings aren't our main concern. The women of this village are all strong warriors—Amazon Lily is the homeland of The Kuja Tribe, a race of warriors and hunters, all of whom are females."
"The women here value strength more than beauty, and their warriors are not to be underestimated. This village is highly exclusive—no men are allowed."
The men of the Uchiha clan exchanged bewildered glances. "How does a country survive without men?" someone muttered.
Kitaro gave a wry smile. "Women of the right age are allowed to leave the island, and when they return pregnant, they always give birth to girls."
"..."
Everyone was speechless.
The Uchiha clan, battle-hardened as they were, found this revelation bizarre.
"Should we leave?" one of the younger male members suggested, recognizing the potential danger of staying on the island.
Kitaro shook his head firmly. "We can't. The Calm Belt is too dangerous without special ships. Leaving now would expose us to the Sea Kings. Our best bet is to negotiate with them, to avoid conflict if possible."
'woosh'
Just then, an arrow thudded into the ground in front of Kitaro, sending the Uchiha members into a defensive stance. Kitaro raised his hand, signaling them to stay calm.
Dozens of women emerged from the surrounding forest, encircling the Uchiha clan. Each held a snake-like bow, their eyes fierce and vigilant. Their attire—animal skin swimsuits—revealed their athletic, battle-ready physiques.
A tall, powerful woman with a high black ponytail stepped forward, her voice sharp as she called out, "Who are you, and why have you intruded on Amazon Lily?"
Kitaro stepped forward, his hands raised in a gesture of peace. "We didn't mean to intrude. We arrived by accident and are merely seeking help. As you can see, we have old people and children with us. We mean no harm."
The warrior woman's eyes scanned the crowd but remained skeptical.
Even if there were occasional outsiders who miraculously drifted here, most of them would turn into corpses by the time they arrived on the island. There had never been so many outsiders on this island before.
After some time.
An old woman appeared, pushing her way to the front. Her eyes went wide as she pointed at Kitaro and the others, her voice trembling with shock.
"Oh my God!!! Isn't this... a... man?!!!"
