【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

"Ah, Nami, why did you come back suddenly?" Luffy grabbed the railing and looked at Nami riding Viper, and said unhappily, "We are about to go to that 'absolutely forbidden place' for adventure... No, we are looking for you..."

Qi jumped onto the deck from below, and after hearing Luffy's words, he couldn't help but complain, "Luffy, your little tricks are still so easy to be seen through."

"I did come across an island, but that island is very dangerous. There seems to be a person there with incredible power like God!" Nami came to the deck with tears streaming down her face. She covered her face and said weakly, "You don't know what I saw there. A huge bolt of lightning instantly blew a person to pieces. And that old woman lied to us. If you don't pay the entry fee here, you will be wanted. This is simply a fraud, a fraud!!" At the end, Nami stood up and shouted with full energy.

"Uh..." The others scratched their heads helplessly as they looked at Nami who seemed to be fine.

"Don't worry about the entry fee. Qi has already taken care of it." Usopp looked at Luffy's excitement and patted Nami's shoulder sympathetically and said, "The one we should worry about now is Luffy. He has decided to go to the island you just visited."

"That's right, we are going to the Island of God for a great adventure!" Luffy shouted excitedly.

"What!?" Nami fell to her knees, crying and wailing for her dear life, and then immediately stood up and yelled at Luffy, her teeth getting sharper and sharper. "What great adventure! I told you how dangerous that island is, you said that because you didn't see it. I will never go there again!"

"Then you wait for us here while we go!" Luffy dodged Nami's roar and said with a smile.

"We have to leave here as soon as possible. Once those people react, they will come after us." Qi said.

"That's right, let's leave this country as soon as possible!" Nami nodded and said immediately.

"Leave? What nonsense! We still have to go to that island for adventure!" Luffy shouted angrily "To you, which is more important, life or adventure!?"

"Of course life, and money secondly!" Nami said gritting her teeth.

"Ah, so I'm the next one?" Sanji approached Nami with loving eyes and asked in a mean way.

"Go to hell!" Nami punched Sanji directly.

"Anyway, let's leave here first." Qi said, "This place has been exposed. If we stay here any longer, we will only be asked to pay an entry fee, and it may also implicate Conis. It's better to go to that God's Island."

"That's right, go to the Island of God!" Luffy shouted excitedly.

While they were arguing, Usopp suddenly realized that they didn't know how to get down from here, so he quickly jumped off the boat and asked Conis on the shore. Then he learned that if they wanted to go down, they had to first go back to the white sea where they came up, and then go to a place called the End of the Cloud.

"Uncle, can you pack up the meal we just had?!" Luffy asked happily to Uncle Pagaya on the shore while standing on the deck.

"You are quite smart in this regard!" Sanji said with a smile. After all, they have decided to go to the Island of Gods, so the food they haven't finished eating must not be wasted.

"Of course!" Pragya said with narrowed eyes.

"Great, Sanji, take out the lunch box!" Luffy shouted excitedly.

"Uncle, I also have a favor to ask. You are a repair technician, right? Could you give me some tools for repairing ships?" Usopp asked anxiously.

"Of course, then please come back to my house again!" Pragya said with a smile.

Luffy and Sanji took their lunch boxes and jumped off the boat, followed Usopp and the uncle, and ran towards the uncle's house.

"Really? That guy is determined to go!" Nami said angrily, looking at the backs of the three people.

"Forget it, let's get ready to sail and leave here as soon as they come back." Qi said with a smile.

"And you, why don't you help me stop Luffy!" Nami turned and looked at Qi angrily, "That place is really scary!"

"Well, you know Luffy's persistence. When have we ever succeeded in stopping him from going somewhere he wants to go?" Qi patted Nami's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Even if everyone protests, he won't change his mind. You'd better not make any futile struggles." Zoro interrupted.

"Really? You all just let him do whatever he wants. There's no one on this ship who can be trusted!" Nami said in frustration, covering her face and crying for her impending tragic fate.

"By the way, it seems like something is approaching our ship." Qi grabbed the railing and looked at the bottom of the ship.

Chopper looked at the huge pincers that suddenly appeared on both sides of Merry and shouted in horror, "Wow, what a huge pincer!!"

"It looks like a giant lobster." Qi said calmly.

"Where is it taking us?" Nami shouted in panic.

"Hey, everyone jump off the boat, there's still time!" Zoro shouted hurriedly.

"It's useless. There is a large school of Sky Island fish waiting for us in the water!" Qi said. He could feel that the ferocious fish around him were almost all gathered here. "If we jump off the boat, our hope of survival may be even slimmer."

"It seems... it has already begun." Robin said calmly

"Heaven's punishment? Instead of sending out pursuers, they're just going to take us there to be punished?" Zoro gritted his teeth and said, "What a domineering guy!"

"So, we're going to that island again?" Nami said in horror.

"It should be." Qi said with a smile, "We were going there anyway."

"How can you be so calm!!" Nami screamed angrily at Qi.

"It can't be helped." Qi covered his ears and retorted, "It's the same if we wait there for Luffy and the others."

"Luffy, Usopp, Sanji! We are waiting for you on the Island of God!" Nami shouted in the direction of Luffy and the others.

……

Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji stood on the balcony of the uncle's house, watching in confusion as the ship disappeared from their sight at a rapid speed.

"So they went to the Island of Gods before us?" Luffy realized what was happening and immediately shouted angrily, "I'm the captain, I should go first!"

"Ms. Nami, why are you wearing a T-shirt?" Sanji muttered to himself, immersed in his own world.

"Why are you all paying attention to these!" Usopp turned his head left and right and shouted angrily, "Nami and Merry have all been taken away!"

"Uncle, do you know where they will be taken to on the Island of Gods?" Sanji came back to his senses, looked at Pagaya and asked.

"The Express Shrimp is the messenger of God! What they carry is always a tribute to God!" Pagaya said with his head down, "Then their destination is... the altar of living sacrifices in the northeast of the Island of Gods!"

"Are you saying that Miss Nami and Miss Robin will become living sacrifices to God!?" Sanji gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't be ridiculous!!"
