Arc 3The Battle for Origin Island
The Uchiha Clan fought off the Marines, CP0, and the Blackbeard Pirates as the World Government tried to seize control of Origin Island. Natsu turned the battle in the Uchiha’s favor, but Kizaru arrived and began holding him off while the Marines withdrew.
- Teach watched the Uchiha battle the Marines and planned to recruit them after both sides were weakened, while Ace secretly kept watch on him.
- Fugaku declared Origin Island and its surrounding waters Uchiha territory, rejected the Five Elders’ offer to trade a clan member for recognition, and led his forces into battle against the Marines.
- The Uchiha fought Gion and the Marine officers to a stalemate, but the Marines’ superior stamina wore them down, and Gion injured Fugaku as he tried to save Tekka.
- Fugaku caught Van Augur in Tsukuyomi, and Teach offered Gion help against the Uchiha in exchange for authority over territory, and the Five Elders approved the bargain.
- CP0 agents infiltrated Origin Island to abduct children, but Natsu and the Uchiha surrounded them, killed one agent, and captured the other as the Marines and Blackbeard’s crew encircled Fugaku’s force.
- Ace attacked Teach, but the Marines and Blackbeard’s crew overwhelmed the exhausted Uchiha until Natsu arrived with reinforcements and drove the battle decisively in the clan’s favor.
- The Uchiha wounded the Marine vice admirals and Blackbeard Pirates as Natsu forced Gion onto the defensive, while Sengoku ordered reinforcements and Kizaru headed for Origin Island.
- Kizaru arrived, attacked Natsu with a laser, and chose to cover the Marines’ withdrawal, and Natsu struck at him, but Kizaru dodged each blow at lightspeed.
