Arc 17The Uchiha Stand at Sea
The Uchiha Clan defeated Blackbeard’s crew, forced the Marines to withdraw, and joined Ace, Sabo, and the Straw Hats in a hard-won celebration. The story then shifted to Origin Island, where Sasuke continued training under Natsu’s clone and pushed himself to learn from each defeat.
- Yashiro, Tekka, and the Night Owl Guard overwhelmed Blackbeard and his officers, while Rin awakened her Mangekyō Sharingan and Taki and Yan killed Burgess and Shiryu.
- Blackbeard escaped into the sea as the Uchiha captured the surviving officers, and the Marines and Red-Haired Pirates watched the clan’s victory.
- The Uchiha and Marines held a tense standoff until Sengoku ordered the fleet to withdraw, while Shanks and the Red-Haired Pirates also left the island.
- The Uchiha secured the battlefield and rested, then joined Ace, Sabo, and the Straw Hats aboard the Thousand Sunny for a celebration that ended with Luffy embracing his brothers.
- A Night Owl Guard healer treated Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji with the Mystical Palm Technique, and Chopper resolved to pursue his dream of becoming the world’s greatest doctor.
- The Night Owl Guard remembered their losses and the Uchiha’s persecution, then suppressed their anger and joined the Straw Hats in celebrating.
- On Origin Island, Natsu’s Wood Release Clone attacked Sasuke with the styles of Izuna and Madara, while Sasuke used his Sharingan, Haki, and forbidden techniques to survive and counterattack.
- Sasuke spotted openings in the clone’s shifting attacks and pressed forward, but the clone’s power forced him back as he vowed to grow stronger through every defeat.
