【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

"Hey! Uncle, how are you!" Luffy shouted anxiously as he looked at Uncle Kulikate who was lying on the ground.

"I'm sorry..." Kulikate said with difficulty.

"Hey! Uncle is awake!" Luffy shouted

"I'm really... sorry... for not protecting your ship. Such a thing still happened with us here... But, there is still time. We will definitely reinforce your ship before sunrise..." Kulikate said as he sat up from the ground.

"Wait a minute, uncle, tell me who made you like this!" Luffy asked.

"Don't worry, we're fine now...but you guys...it's great that you successfully brought back the south-facing bird," Kulikate said with a cough.

"Luffy!" Nami ran out of the house and shouted in shock, "The gold nuggets were stolen..."

Everyone was silent for a while until Uncle Kulikate spoke.

"Forget it... forget about that..." Kulikate waved his hand indifferently and said lightly, "Your business is more important now..."

"What do you mean by that thing?! It took you ten years, and even exhausted yourself, to get it!" Usopp shouted angrily.

"Don't say anything. If I say it's okay, then it's okay... This is our business..." Kulikate said seriously, "Listen carefully! All the Saruyama coalition forces will be mobilized... We will definitely be able to repair and reinforce the ship before you leave for Sky Island in the morning. We will definitely send you to the sky!"

"Luffy!" Qi shouted to Luffy, then pointed to the symbol painted on the wall.

"That... is the symbol of the pirates that appeared in the tavern today!" Zoro recognized it and frowned, then looked at Luffy and asked calmly, "Do you need help?"

"No, I can do it alone." Luffy flexed his fingers, without any smile on his face, and said seriously, "I'll be back in the morning!"

"Wait, Luffy! We only have three hours! Don't do anything stupid!!" Nami hurriedly persuaded.

"If we walk along the coast, we will reach the town where we will land today." Qi reminded Luffy. Although he could also lead the way for Luffy, repairing Merry would require more manpower, and they had to repair Merry before dawn.

……

"Hahaha, the big monkey's expression is so hilarious! That ugly look!"

"Hahaha, that's right, those idiots!!"

"Haha, don't make it too difficult for them. Their opponent is our Captain Bellamy!"

Sachis was smiling triumphantly, they had just robbed a large amount of gold from Kulikate and were showing off in the tavern, when suddenly a panicked pirate rushed in and interrupted everything.

"It's terrible, run away!" The pirates who rushed in shouted in panic, "Bellamy, run away quickly, you...you will be the first one to be killed!!"

"What the hell are you yelling about!?" Bellamy looked at the pirate at the door with a sinister look in his eyes. "Who will kill me?"

"Could it be that the Whitebeard pirate from daytime has returned?!" everyone said in horror.

"No... no!" The panicked pirate raised the bounty in both hands. "It's the guy you provoked today. He's worth 100 million berries!!"

"One hundred million?"

"8 million?"

"Yes, those two people during the day...both had a higher bounty than you! Bellamy!!" the man shouted in panic.

"It's not true, is it?"

"If it's true, we're in trouble!"

"They probably don't remember us!!"

The pirates in the tavern suddenly shouted in panic. At this moment, Bellamy, who had been silent, suddenly laughed wildly. He didn't believe that the guy who looked so weak today was worth 1 million Baileys!

"Haven't you heard of a kind of pirate who forged his own wanted poster in order to intimidate others? The wanted posters of those two guys must have been forged!" Bellamy grinned, and as if to convince himself, he added, "If those two guys really had such a high bounty, they would have been dead when we provoked them today!"

"Right!! We've never heard of that Straw Hat boy!"

"The bounty must be forged!!"

“Ahahaha, turns out it was just a bluff!!”

Everyone laughed again and continued to drink the wine in their hands. The next second, loud shouting was heard outside the door.

"Bellamy! Where are you!!"

Hearing the voice, the pirates in the tavern were so scared that they spit out the wine they had just drunk. They knew whose voice it was, it was the Straw Hat Boy they were discussing!

"How dare you call me by my name!" Bellamy arrogantly pushed open the door of the tavern and looked around for Luffy.

"Hey!"

Bellamy looked up at the rooftops. The boy in the straw hat was standing on the roof of the tallest house, staring at him. Bellamy noticed the boy's eyes, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel scared, but he was Bellamy! How could he be afraid of such a weak boy?

"We were just talking about you!" Bellamy suppressed his inner emotions and grinned, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Give Uncle Kuriko's gold back!" Luffy said in a deep voice.

"Gold nuggets? Those are the things of old man Kulikate!" Bellamy said as he compressed his feet. His feet were constantly pressed down like springs. The next second he jumped onto the roof and stood opposite Luffy. "What do you mean by not returning it? Those are my trophies as a pirate. You are also a pirate. Why do you ask me to return them?"

"Because the uncles are my friends, I want to take the gold back!" Luffy said calmly.

"Hahaha, do you need me to teach you how to punch? You can't take anything from me just by standing there like you did during the day!" Bellamy said arrogantly while looking at Luffy standing opposite him.

"It's different now than during the day!!" Luffy said calmly as he looked at Bellamy who was laughing crazily.

"Hahaha, what's the difference!? I'll make sure you can never be stubborn again!" Bellamy said as he catapulted towards the surrounding buildings, constantly compressing his leg springs. "I'll take care of you in one second!"

Luffy jumped off the roof as Bellamy rushed over and stood still waiting for his attack.

"Spring Jumper!" Bellamy's figure kept bouncing back and forth on the surrounding buildings, constantly accumulating his strength. He jumped faster and faster between the buildings, and finally disappeared directly from the sight of normal people. "Goodbye! Straw Hat Boy!"

Luffy calmly looked at Bellamy who was rushing towards him, and the next moment he raised his fist and punched Bellamy in the face, knocking him to the ground.

Everyone looked at Bellamy in horror, who had just been taunting the Straw Hat Boy, and was instantly killed by the Straw Hat Boy. He didn't even move, just threw a punch.
