【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

"You told me not to attack your companions, then told me not to destroy the ship, then said you were afraid of death... I've never seen someone as willful as you! It makes me furious..." Shura said with a gloomy face, then raised the spear in his hand and attacked Chopper, "If you want to live, don't be such a coward!"

Chopper dodged his attack and then pounced on him, but the man seemed to have noticed his movement and had left his original position before he pounced, leaving him empty-handed. Chopper gritted his teeth and looked at Shura. Could it be that this guy also knew the Observation Haki that they learned?

Shura and Sanzhangniao stood on the railing and looked at the reindeer on the deck who were still confused and asked, "You know this is a living altar, right?"

"Yes, you just said that!" Chopper said.

"There are four major areas on this island governed by our four great priests. The priests can only take action against people who enter their own areas, but this living altar does not belong to any area. In other words, anyone can take action here." Shura explained kindly, and at the same time let the reindeer understand that he died because of his companions.

"But this is what will happen after your companions who accepted the test are finished. However, this rule is a thing of the past, because your companions who were held hostage together with you have left here and violated the rule. Then a new rule will appear, that is, if someone escapes, someone else must be sacrificed!"

Chopper thought of the scene when Zoro proposed to leave, and he immediately understood that that guy was the culprit!

Shura took advantage of Chopper's distraction and attacked him again on his Sanzhang Bird. Although he successfully stabbed Chopper's shoulder, he was knocked back by another attack the next second.

Shura looked at the man who was also riding a bird in the air, a dark smile appeared on his face, and he quickly jumped onto the back of the three-horned bird and flew towards the man in the air. "What a rare visitor! Gan Ful!!"

Chopper looked at the Aerial Knight fighting Shura in the air and shouted with emotion "Ohhhh! Aerial Knight!!"

"Pete, fly boldly!" said the Air Knight, and let Pete fly towards Shura. They kept colliding in the air and then separated. The moment they crossed each other for the third time, the Air Knight jumped onto the back of the Three-horned Bird and started a close combat with Shura. Before Shura could react, the Air Knight directly used his left hand's impact shell to attack Shura from behind and pushed him off the back of the Three-horned Bird. At the same time, he was pushed down by the recoil of the impact.

"Pete!" The Aerial Knight was successfully caught by Pete during his fall and returned to Pete's back. The Aerial Knight looked at Shura who was also saved by the Three-Winged Bird and said solemnly, "You have to work harder, Pete!"

"It's really annoying, stupid guy, I'll let you know the consequences of angering me!" Shura said as he stood on the back of the three-horned bird, pulling his goggles over his eyes. The moment Gan Fowler approached on the bird, he threw the rope in his hand away, "Rope Test!!"

Chopper, standing on the living altar, looked in shock at the two people who were fighting in the air. Their speed was extremely fast, so fast that Chopper could not see their movements clearly.

Until the Sky Knight and his bird suddenly stopped in the air for some reason. Chopper looked at the Sky Knight in horror as Shura shot him with his spear. The next second, the Sky Knight fell directly from the air into the sea of ​​clouds below. "Sky Knight!!!"

……

"Uh..." Lucci was awakened by the screams outside. He closed his eyes and raised his hands to cover his painful head. After a while, his heavy eyes slowly opened, but the dazzling light forced him to close his eyes again. After he got used to it, he opened his eyes again and tried to sit up from the bed, but the pain in his body told him it was better not to do so.

Lucci looked around as he lay in bed and noticed that he was in a different place, his intuition told him that he was on a ship, he could feel that all the wounds on his body were well treated.

Lucci blinked and tried to figure out what happened, he remembered, he was fighting with Teach, and then he was taken away by Ace's brother, at that time Ace's brother seemed to say something to him, but he didn't hear it clearly.

Lucci tried to sit up from the bed again, and this time he succeeded. Enduring the throbbing pain in his head, Lucci slowly got down from the bed. His every move was pulling at the wounds on his body, increasing his physical pain. However, compared to this, what was more important now was the gradually approaching aura outside. It seemed that he had to prepare for a fight.

……

Chopper lay on the living altar, looking at the sea of ​​clouds where the Sky Knight fell, and kept thinking about countermeasures, "What should I do? What should I do? How can I save him? But looking at the Sky Shark swimming below, he was a little scared. The Sky Knight and it will definitely be eaten by the Sky Shark!"

Chopper thought of what Shura said about him being a coward, and stared at the sea of ​​clouds below with a determined look, then jumped down directly. "I'm here to save you! Sky Knight!!"

"Hey, kid! Aren't you an animal-type ability user?" Shura was surprised to see the reindeer jumping directly into the sea of ​​clouds. "What an idiot, but it saves me from having to do it."

Then he looked at Pete who was fixed in the air by the Rope Test. "I remember you are also an animal-type ability user, come down with your master!" Shura said evilly, and knocked Pete down the next second.

"Ah! How boring! Useless weaklings really make me angry. What should I do next? I wonder if those three people have been caught." Just as Shura was about to leave here, he suddenly felt that there was still a breath of life on the boat above the living altar, but it seemed very weak, which was why he had not noticed it. Shura asked the three-horned bird to turn around and fly towards the boat. "Almost missed one!"

Shura pushed open the door of the cabin and looked at the guy sitting on the bed, wrapped in bandages and breathing weakly. "Instead of living in such pain, let me give you a quick death."

"Ah, that's not necessary." Lucci took a breath, feeling the pain in his chest, and grinned, "I still have things to do, I can't die."

"Just accept your death and make my work easier. After all, I don't want to deal with useless weaklings like you at all." Shura said with disdain as he looked at the young man opposite.

“Really?” Lucci noticed that his sword was not in this room. This was a bit troublesome. Although he thought so, he did not stop his movements. He transferred the wounds that affected his movements. His body immediately felt much better. At least he was no longer weak. Lucci looked at the man in front of him holding a spear and wearing goggles, grinned, and said provocatively, “Let’s try it and see who is the weak one!”

The man's face suddenly darkened. "I don't know why your aura suddenly became stronger, but do you think you can beat me?" He raised the spear in his hand and attacked Lucci.
