【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

"What is this?" Zoro looked at the snow-white fox on the ground in confusion. "Are there foxes on Sky Island?"

"There's someone over there!" Qi pointed to a slightly higher cloud not far away. It seemed to be a hill of Sky Island or something like that. A girl was standing on it, but she seemed to have wings on her back.

"That...that's an angel!!" Sanji looked at her and shouted excitedly, "Beautiful Angel Lady~"

"Angel!?"

Luffy jumped down from the tree holding two fruits. After hearing what Sanji said, he looked at the legendary angel in confusion, "She doesn't sound sour like an old woman."

"Are you from Qinghai? Susu, come here!" The winged girl came down from the clouds and walked towards them.

"We flew up from below." Nami replied "Do you live here?"

"Yes, I am a resident here. This is Angel Beach, the holy land in the sky!" The girl had a gentle smile on her face. She looked at the fruit in Luffy's hand and took the initiative to say, "Do you want to drink that Congo?"

Luffy handed the fruit in his hand to the girl and asked expectantly, "Can you open this fruit? I can't bite it open with my teeth."

"Its shell is as hard as iron, so you can't bite it. Just pry it open from the top." The girl said as she used a knife to scratch the top of the fruit. Soon the top of the fruit was pried open and a round object was taken away. She inserted a straw into the fruit with a hole in it and then handed the fruit back to Luffy. "Here, please drink it!"

"Oh, thank you!" Luffy took it excitedly and drank the juice inside in big gulps. "It's delicious!!"

"Really? Let me try it too!" Usopp, who was standing next to Luffy, shouted excitedly.

"Please open this one too!" Chopper said happily, holding up another fruit.

"Sure." After the girl helped Chopper open the fruit, she hugged the fox and said gently, "If you have any trouble, you can come to me and I will help you. My name is Conis."

"We have a lot of things to ask you!" Nami pushed away Sanji who was trying to please Conis, and said with a smile, "For us, everything here is incredible..."

"Someone is rushing towards us at sea." Qi interrupted the conversation between Nami and Conis.

Cornis turned his head and looked at the man on the sea who was approaching them on the Weiba, and said with a smile, "That's my father!"

A man in a sailless boat came toward them, shouting, "Cornis, Hasso!"

"Well, Hasso, father!"

"This...what kind of conversation is this!" Luffy said in confusion as he listened to their conversation.

"It might be a unique way of greeting on Sky Island." Qi said, and then looked at the thing carrying Conis's father flying across the sea of ​​clouds. "That must be the ship 'Wei Ba' described in Nolando's logbook that can sail even without wind!"

As soon as Qi finished speaking, Conis's father rode Weiba into the tree behind them.

Nami suddenly remembered that Luffy and his crew seemed to have fished out a similar boat from the bottom of the sea before. "Luffy, did you bring it up? The one that was fished out from the bottom of the sea, it looked very similar to this one."

"Yes, I brought it." Luffy said while drinking the juice in his hand.

"I'm so sorry, my name is Pagaya." Conis's father, who had already climbed up from the ground, squinted his eyes and smiled and said, "I just went fishing. Do you want to come to my house? I can treat you with this sky lobster I just caught!"

"Is it okay? Okay, okay!" Luffy immediately became excited when he heard that he could try the food on Sky Island.

"Sky Island cuisine? Let me help too!" Sanji said happily

"Hello, I would like to ask, why can this ship sail on the sea without a sail?" Nami asked puzzledly while touching the Viba that Conis's father had just driven.

"Don't you know Bei?" Conis was a little surprised.

……

"Is it really okay?" Usopp looked at Luffy who was standing on the Vibrator and was eager to try it. He was a little worried. After Conis introduced them how to operate the Vibrator, Luffy excitedly said that he wanted to be the first to try it, but he always felt that Luffy would fall. "By the way, will the sea of ​​Sky Island also make people with special abilities sink?"

"Well, I don't know, maybe he can float up." Qi looked at the excited Luffy and said with a smile, "But even if that guy can't sink, he can't swim."

"Waaaaaah!! Let's run!" Luffy drove the Viper excitedly on the sea.

"Wow, it worked!" Chopper shouted in admiration, "Come on, Luffy!"

"Hahaha, why is it shaking like that? I can't stop...!!" Luffy laughed, but before he could even finish his words, the boat under his feet flipped backwards.

"Luffy!!" Zoro shouted and rushed towards the direction where Luffy fell.

"The boat capsized!!" Usopp shouted in horror "Luffy!!"

"That idiot!" Sanji broke the cigarette in his hand and ran after the idiot who didn't understand the seriousness of the situation and fell into the sea without permission. This is an empty sea 10,000 meters high, with no seabed!

When Chopper saw Luffy falling, he also rushed into the sea.

"Two idiots!" After rescuing Chopper, Qi dived back into the sea again and swam towards the direction where Luffy fell, following Zoro and Sanji.

"Ah... it's all my fault for lending the boat to a novice. Sorry!" Conis's father said guiltily, "In order to make full use of the boat, the Weiba was made very light. It can turn left and right with just a tiny wave. If you are not someone who knows the ocean well, it would be difficult to do it well."

"Don't worry, those guys will be fine." Nami said with a smile.

Soon, Qi and Zoro swam up with Luffy, and Sanji followed closely with Viba.

"So, why did you rush over too? We are all Devil Fruit users..." Usopp complained as he looked at Chopper who was muttering about Sky Island's horror on the ground.

"It's not that difficult!" After Sanji brought Viba up, Nami put Viba into the water again. After a while, she mastered it completely and easily controlled Viba to fly on the sea.

"Wow, Nami is riding!!" Usopp shouted in disbelief.

"This does require skill and carefulness. You can't learn it, Luffy!" Nami shouted with a smile while riding on Viper.

"Damn it, hey! Nami, we are going to uncle's place, come down quickly!" Luffy pouted and yelled at Nami unwillingly, "Come down quickly! Idiot!"

"How ungraceful..." Sanji pressed Luffy's head with his heel.

"You guys go ahead, I'll play for a while!" Nami shouted happily, "Luffy, when I learn it, I can give you a ride!"

"Really?!" Luffy stopped being angry when he heard Nami's words and grinned, "Okay, then you learn it!"

Everyone followed Conis and the others towards her home, and on the way they saw a cloud cutting field where clouds were being processed.
