【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Sanji took the cigarette out of his mouth, took a step forward, and stood in front of Nami, "Ms. Nami, they provoked us first.

"Huh? He actually dodged it?" Bellamy said with his eyes wide open. He didn't believe that this kid really dodged his attack. He thought he was just lucky.

"You wanna fight?" Luffy grinned.

"Hahaha, did you hear that? That brat actually wants to fight Bellamy!"

“Wahahahaha, fight, fight!”

The surrounding pirates shouted.

"Fight? Come on, let me see how strong you are!" Bellamy laughed crazily.

"Luffy! Wait!" Nami stopped him, "We can't cause trouble here, we still have to find clues to Sky Island!"

As soon as Nami finished speaking, the pirates in the tavern suddenly started laughing, as if they had heard a joke.

"Hahahaha, does she know what she's talking about?"

"Sky Island? Hahaha, spare me!"

"What are you laughing at!? The record pointer is pointing to the sky!" Nami shouted angrily, then she turned to look at the tavern owner and asked, "Excuse me, how do we get to Sky Island!"

"Hahahaha, what a fool!"

"If the record pointer points to the sky, it means your record pointer is broken!"

The pirates laughed wildly, and even Bellamy, who was about to fight them, spoke sarcastically as if he had heard a joke.

"Where did you come from, you country bumpkins? You actually believe in such an outdated legend. What islands are there in the sky? The ever-changing ocean currents on the Grand Line have long explained this legend for us. Ships fell from the sky only because of the surging ocean currents. Countless ships were swallowed by the surging ocean currents and pushed into the air, and then fell into the sea from mid-air!"

"In the past, those ignorant navigators saw ships falling from the sky and created sky islands out of thin air. In this world, any strange phenomenon has a reason behind it! Hahahaha!"

Bellamy laughed sarcastically. "I was thinking of making you a member of the new era crew, but I didn't expect you to be such a delusional idiot! Listen up, the era of pirate treasure hunting is over! The Golden City! The Emerald City! The great secret treasure [One Piece] does not exist!!"

Luffy, Zoro and Sanji just looked at the crazy Bellamy calmly.

"There are always some idiots who are blinded by dreams of treasure. They clearly have the ability to dominate a region, but they die for an illusory fantasy. Those daydreamers make me want to vomit every time I see them!"

Bellamy raised the bottle in his hand and smashed it at Luffy, but Luffy didn't dodge or fight back. From the moment Bellamy said that his dream of becoming a pirate was over, Luffy no longer had any thought of fighting him, because his opponent was a coward, a coward who didn't have the courage to pursue his dreams. Such a guy was not worth fighting.

"Hahaha... Hey, Bellamy! Everyone can't wait, show them your stunts!"

The people in the pub laughed.

"Haha, then I'll obey your command!!" Bellamy had a bloodthirsty smile on his face, and when he was about to deal with those daydreaming idiots, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open from the outside. In this laughing tavern, the creaking sound of the wooden door of the tavern was unusually conspicuous. The laughter of the pirates stopped instantly, and they all turned to look at the door of the tavern.

Luffy stood up from the ground and looked towards the door with wide eyes in confusion.

A man in a black vest slowly pushed open the door, exuding a stern aura. He wore a blue mask on his face, and his golden hair was covered by a black hood, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

Someone noticed the Whitebeard symbol on the chest of the person who came, and immediately lowered his head in fear. It was not until his confused companions asked him about it that he whispered, "That guy is someone who must not be provoked. He is the Whitebeard Pirate."

"Are they the crew members of the world's strongest pirate?" The person who asked the question growled in disbelief, "Why would such a person come here!?"

Lucci looked at the scene in the tavern. It was really chaotic. However, he looked down at the embarrassed boy in front of him. Was that Ace's brother? This would be a bit dangerous. After all, Teach had seen the bounty order for Ace's brother.

Lucci walked straight past Luffy and headed for the bar, even though the bar seemed to be gone, he could feel Ace's brother's eyes on him, but now wasn't a good time to say hello.

He said to the boss, "Give me a glass of wine and a plate of fried rice." After that, he found a seat at the edge of the bar and sat down, rubbing the poster in his pocket. He wondered where Teach was hiding. It would take four days for Gaya to record the magnetic force. He would not leave the island soon, and he would definitely come to find him on his own initiative.

"Please enjoy your meal!" the boss said respectfully as he placed the food in his hand on the remaining bar.

Luffy kept his eyes on the man, and the moment the man passed by, he sensed the man's breath, and a strange feeling surged in Luffy's heart... Although it was not an ominous premonition, his heart began to beat wildly.

"Hey, kid!"

Luffy didn't turn around to look at the person who called him, his eyes stayed on the man who was eating at the bar.

Bellamy saw that boy staring at the Whitebeard pirate, and he grinned and said sarcastically, "That guy is not someone a weakling like you can reach!"

The pub, which had suddenly fallen silent due to the previous episode, became noisy again because of Bellamy's words, and as if for show, everyone shouted with laughter.

"Hahaha, Bellamy is right!"

"Get out of here, you bugs! Hahahaha!"

"Get out of this town now!!"

As the pirates spoke, they threw the bottles in their hands at the standing Straw Hat Pirates.

"Too noisy!" Lucci put down the cutlery in his hand and looked at the disgusting pirates in the tavern with cold eyes, "Get lost!!"

As the last word fell, a powerful air flow emanated from his body, and the pirates who were still laughing in the last second fell to the ground one after another.

Zoro and Sanji looked at each other in surprise, this guy was so strong. They walked to Luffy and stared at the man vigilantly. Now they and the tavern owner were the only ones who had not fallen down in the tavern. The other pirates fell to the ground unconscious.

"Boss, have you seen this person?" Luffy took out the poster from his pocket and placed it in front of the tavern owner and asked.

"He just bought 50 cherry pies and left," the boss replied nervously.

"Okay, thank you for the treat!" Lucci threw a bag of gold coins to the tavern owner, turned around and looked at Luffy who had been staring at him, grinning, "Little guy, order whatever you want."

After saying this, Lucci immediately left the tavern because he still had Blackbeard to look for.
