【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

"Aren't you very afraid of the god of this island?" Zoro couldn't help but complain as he looked at Nami who was so excited when she heard about gold.

"God? What's so great about that? Can he be more valuable than gold?" Nami said disdainfully.

"Eh……"

The other three were shocked at how quickly Nami's expression changed.

"It's getting late, we should go back. We'll have to look for gold tomorrow." Qi said, looking at the sky which was slightly orange.

"I wonder if Chopper is in danger while he's alone." Nami said worriedly.

"It's a bit late to think about it now." Zoro said, "Hurry up and go back, Luffy and the others should be here soon."

……

"What the hell is this place?" Luffy looked at the skulls stuck all around in confusion. They arrived here not long after leaving the forest of the ball test.

"We must have entered the next test area... I don't know where the priest will appear from, so be careful!" Sanji said while driving the boat.

"One test is enough for me, damn it...is it a rope, iron, or swamp this time?!" Usopp looked around in horror.

"It looks like just an ordinary grassland!" Luffy said easily.

"How can it be ordinary? Look carefully, those sticks are full of skeletons!" Usopp shouted in horror.

"Someone!" Luffy looked behind them and he could feel a group of people rushing towards them.

"Wow, why are these guys suddenly attacking us!" Usopp looked at the group of people in shock. They had clearly flown past, but suddenly turned around and fired shells at them. Although their shells were blocked back in time by Luffy's rubber balloon, he was still startled by the sudden attack.

"Hey, you wanna fight!?" Luffy shouted angrily at the guy who was firing cannonballs at them.

"If you want to live, get back to Qinghai immediately, otherwise I will kill you like I killed Enelu!" The man who had just shot at them left after saying this.

"That group of people are guerrillas. It seems that guerrillas and God are not in the same group." Sanji stared at the backs of the group of people leaving and said, "But it is confirmed that they are enemies of God, but they are also enemies of us!"

"What's going on on this island..." Usopp said in panic, shaking his shoulders.

"Anyway, let's keep moving forward!" Sanji said, taking a puff of his cigarette.

"I'm hungry~" Luffy wailed while lying on the railing of the ship.

"Eat your bento." Sanji sighed and said helplessly.

"That's great, thank you Sanji!" Luffy shouted excitedly.

……

"So this is the legendary Sky Island?!" Lucci said in shock. He didn't expect that he just took a nap, and when he woke up, he found himself being brought to the legendary Sky Island by his brother Ace.

"Yes, that's right. We flew up with the surge current." Chopper said happily while bandaging the Sky Knight. "Although the surge current is a bit scary, it's the first time I've seen a ship fly in the sky."

Lucci covered his head with his hands and felt a headache. Why did he have to go through all this? First, a series of things that people didn’t want to recall happened at the naval base, then he fought with Blackbeard, and then he was pulled away by Ace’s brother, and now he was suddenly told, welcome to Sky Island, is that true?

Chopper bandaged the Aerial Knight's wound, then looked at Lucci who was covering his head, and asked worriedly, "Is it a headache? Your brain was hit, and you have a severe concussion!"

"Ah, it's okay, I'm much better now." Lucci smiled, his face a little pale, and the wound had returned to his body.

Chopper looked at Lucci carefully, and after confirming that he was okay, he noticed the pipe he had been holding in his hand, and asked curiously, "Where did you find this pipe?"

"This?" Lucci looked at the worn-out pipe in his hand. "I found it in the corner of the room where I woke up."

"That must be where Luffy is hiding." Chopper said with a smile, "He always hides in various places."

"Is that so? Then I'll put it back." Lucci said with a smile, and then thought of the scene in the room. "That room might be a bit messy. There's a guy who wanted to attack me and is still lying in it."

"Huh!?" Chopper looked at Lucci in confusion, then followed him back to the lounge. Shocked, he looked at the priest lying on the ground. Chopper asked in disbelief, "You knocked him down!?"

"Well, he rushed up on his own." Lucci said as he put the pipe in his hand back to its original place.

Chopper hurriedly pulled Lucci to the bed and said, "The wound on your body must have opened. It needs to be rebandaged!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Lucci said with a smile, not really caring about the wound on his body. "By the way, can you lend me the Den Den Mushi on your ship? I need to contact my partner, and my Den Den Mushi is left on the small boat docked at the port of Gaya."

Chopper frowned, not quite agreeing with this man's attitude towards his own body. Then, after hearing Lucci's subsequent request, he felt a little embarrassed, "Well... we don't have Den Den Mushi on our ship."

Lucci looked at Chopper in confusion, "Really? Normal ships will be equipped with Den Den Mushi, and you are pirates, you should have your own Den Den Mushi."

"The night before we landed on Jaya Island, Luffy released all the Den Den Mushi." Chopper explained, "Because Nami was very angry at that time."

Luffy looked at Chopper in shock. Really? He couldn't believe that this was something Ace's brother would do. Even Ace, who didn't like to bring Den Den Mushi with him, wouldn't have thought of releasing Den Den Mushi. But for some reason, when he thought that the person who did this was the boy named Luffy, he inexplicably felt that this was something he would do...

Lucci sighed. It seemed that he couldn't contact Ace for the time being. He hoped that Ace wouldn't be too anxious. Lucci looked down at Chopper who was constantly wrapping bandages around himself, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Chopper, that's enough. If you keep tying me up, I'll become a mummy."

"Okay!" Chopper said happily after tying the last knot, "This way the wound won't open again."

"Then can I leave?" Lucci asked with a smile, leaning back on the bed.

"No, you can't leave the bed!" Chopper said seriously, "The wound that had started to scab over has opened again. After bandaging it this time, you must rest in bed for two days before you can leave!"

"But I'm fine now, right?" Lucci grinned, "And we have Dr. Chopper, who has such great medical skills, here!"

Chopper twisted his body shyly, his hands waved like waves, and he kept saying with a red face, "Stupid... idiot! Even if you say that, I won't be happy~"

Looking at Chopper who kept denying shyly, Lucci suddenly felt that teasing small animals was quite interesting.
