【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

"Luffy, they could be the Blackbeard that Ace is looking for," Qi said with a frown before turning to look at Luffy, only to find him excitedly showing off his latest bounty to Zoro.

Nami followed Qi's line of sight and saw Zoro, who was obviously very happy to see the bounty order but still said he was dissatisfied, and Luffy who was too excited. She couldn't help but complain, "So what's there to be happy about this kind of thing!"

"Really? Luffy has 8 million Beli and Zoro has million Beli!" Usopp said excitedly while looking at the bounty in Blackbeard's hand through a telescope.

"What!? Green Algae Head is worth 8 million!?" Sanji shouted in disbelief, then he put his arm around Usopp's shoulders and leaned over to look through the telescope in his hand. "Look carefully, there must be a bounty on my head, right? Mine must be higher than Green Algae Head's!"

"No, there isn't!" Usopp said mercilessly.

"What! Look more carefully!" Sanji said unwillingly.

"No, but there's no Qi either," Usopp muttered.

"It must have been the Alabasta incident that increased the bounty so significantly," Nami guessed.

"Hey, little guys! Don't look around, the ocean current is coming!" the gorilla reminded loudly, "You must succeed!"

The gorillas and apes didn't know the relationship between Blackbeard and Luffy, so they let them pass, but it wasn't long before the expanding sea water knocked down Blackbeard's simple raft.

As Merry was pushed higher and higher by the current, Nami looked at the people who were still scattered and warned loudly, "Everyone get ready, the sea is about to burst!!"

"Robin, Lucci is left to you!!" Luffy said loudly.

"Well, leave it to me, Captain!" Robin responded, and at the same time used the power of the fruit to fix the body of the unconscious man lying on the bed to prevent him from being affected by the upcoming strong ocean current.

"Everyone hold on to what you have, the sea is about to burst!!" Qi shouted loudly, and ran to Robin just in case.

"Oh oh..." Luffy stared at the deck under his feet curiously while wrapping his hands and legs around the mast to secure himself. The sea water had lifted their ship very high, and the next second their ship was rushing towards the sky along the surging current.

"Waaaaaaaaaa!! What's going on?"

"The boat is now hanging upward along the water column!"

Luffy stretched his hand upwards towards the bow of Merry, then sat on the bow of Merry and shouted excitedly, "Wow!! This is so fun!!" He began to scream with joy the moment the boat flew up into the sky along the current, "Just go up to the sky in one breath! Go!! Merry!!"

"Wait... things don't seem to be going so smoothly..." Sanji grabbed the railing and walked to Luffy's side. Feeling the increasingly tilted hull, he felt a little uneasy. "The hull is starting to deviate from the water and float up!"

"what?!"

"If this continues, the boat will definitely fall!" Qi instantly realized what Sanji wanted to express.

"Even if you say that, there's nothing we can do!" Usopp shouted in panic, "It's already very difficult to hold on to the ship!"

"Something fell!"

"It's a sea king!!"

Everyone looked in shock as the sea king that had been swallowed by the whirlpool suddenly fell from the ocean current.

"See? Sooner or later, we will become like that!" Sanji warned, biting his cigarette.

"This time we will all fall into the sea and die!" Usopp said desperately, "We are dead!"

Nami felt the wind blowing from below and instantly realized what to do. She immediately shouted, "Sanji, Zoro, raise the sail immediately! Quick! This is not a water column, it is a rushing ocean current."

Nami smiled confidently. "As long as the target is the wind and the sea, I can make this ship reach any place it wants to go! Who is the navigator of this ship?!"

"It's Nami!!" Sanji shouted excitedly, "Boys, do what Nami says right now!!" Then he and Zoro ran quickly to lower the sail.

"The wind is blowing on the starboard side, turn left! Let the ship sail with the current!"

"Leave it to us!" Usopp and Chopper shouted loudly, and ran to the kitchen to control the rudder.

"Wow, we're going to fall, let's think of a solution quickly! Nami!" Luffy shouted while sitting on Merry's sheep head.

"No, we can do it!" Nami said firmly as she looked at the ocean current rushing towards the sky above. The next second, the ship with its sails hoisted really flew along the ocean current.

"Great! The boat is flying into the sky!!" Luffy screamed excitedly.

"It's amazing!" Qi felt this incredible scene and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"We did it!!" everyone cheered.

In this way, Meli continued to rise along the surging ocean current, and finally disappeared in the dark clouds, welcoming a new ocean, the "empty sea".

"Is everyone okay?" Qi asked as he looked at everyone who was having difficulty breathing. They had just passed through the dark clouds above the rushing ocean current and came to the white clouds. Finally, they passed through the white clouds and arrived at this white sea of ​​clouds. Everything around them was white, as if it was made up of clouds, and their ship was staying above the clouds.

Everyone who had adapted to the breathing rhythm sat up from the deck and looked at the scenery outside in surprise. Everything around them was white.

"Where is this? It's all white." Nami said in shock, grabbing the railing. "And why can our ship stop on the clouds?!"

"Why not? Clouds are meant to be ridden!" Luffy said seriously.

"No, you can't ride it!" Zoro, Sanji and Chopper retorted in unison.

"No, Usopp is not breathing!!" Chopper noticed Usopp lying on the deck and shouted in panic.

"What!?" Luffy suggested urgently, "Hurry up and give him artificial respiration!"

As soon as Sanji heard about artificial respiration, he immediately immersed himself in his fantasy and quickly turned to look at Nami, "Okay, I volunteer to help Miss Nami with artificial respiration~"

"Idiot..." Zoro complained in disgust.

"Did you just call me an idiot?" Sanji turned around and looked at Zoro angrily when he heard Zoro's voice.

"Forgot!" Zoro replied casually.

Usopp, who had regained consciousness, looked at the clouds outside and excitedly jumped up from the deck, looking at the clouds outside and shouted in shock "Is this the Sky Sea?"

"It should be the sea belonging to Sky Island." Qi said with a smile, fascinated by all these incredible things.

"Since it's the sea, then..." Usopp looked at the sea below, and a way to become a brave sea warrior suddenly emerged in his mind. He must be the first person to swim in the sea of ​​Sky Island. He shouted excitedly, "Look at me, guys, I want to be the first pirate to swim in this white sea!!"
