【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

"The wind is getting stronger!" Qi looked at the sky and said worriedly, "We should get back to the boat as soon as possible."

"Those guys are really persistent." Luffy covered his hat with one hand, turned around and looked at the navy that had been chasing them and said, "We have to stop and repel them."

"We can't finish the fight. Ms. Nami asked us to get back to the ship as soon as possible and prepare to set sail." Sanji said to Luffy.

"Okay." Luffy pouted and continued running forward.

"Roronoa Zoro!!"

A woman with a sword stood in their path.

"I didn't expect you to be a pirate. You played tricks on me! I will never forgive you!" The woman drew her sword and shouted angrily at Zoro.

"What did you do to that girl!" Sanji shouted angrily at Zoro who was running beside him.

"I didn't expect you to be a marine!" Zoro said, ignoring the angry Sanji.

"I want to take back the Sandai Kitetsu and Doichimonji!" the female marine shouted firmly.

"Come and see..." Zoro smiled provocatively. He would not hand his sword to anyone. "You go first."

"Okay!" Luffy responded, then pulled Sanji by the collar and followed Qi's footsteps.

"We have to hurry!" Qi shouted to Luffy and Sanji behind him. The wind was getting stronger. "The navy has surrounded the West Port. Nami and Usopp are preparing to weigh anchor and leave. Our ship won't last long in this storm."

"Straw Hat Luffy!"

"There's someone in front!" Qi stopped. A navy man with silver-gray hair blocked their way.

"Is it the navy?" Luffy said.

"Hey!" Luffy waved at the marine.

Qi glanced at Luffy in confusion, then he looked nervously at the man who was walking towards him in the alley not far away. It was the mysterious man he lost today.

"Don't you understand your situation? I won't let you sail from here!" Smoker said, "By the way, my name is Smoker, and I'm a captain at the Admiralty."

"I won't let you escape from the sea!" Smoker shouted while turning his hand into smoke and pointing it at Luffy.

"Woooa! What is this?" Luffy shouted in shock as he was caught by a strange smoke.

"Bastard!" Sanji rushed towards Smoker quickly and kicked Smoker's head. Although he hit it, it was like kicking a ball of cotton.

"White smoke bomb!" Smoker attacked Sanji with his other hand and knocked Sanji away with just one punch.

"Sanji!" Luffy was a little angry when he saw Sanji being knocked away, and stretched out his arms to attack Smoker "Eraser, eraser!"

"Huh?" Luffy looked at his fist in confusion as it pierced through Smoker's body.

"See? You can't even enter the Grand Line!" Smoker said, then appeared behind Luffy, pressed his hat and pinned him to the ground. "You are worth 3 million Baileys."

"Hey! It's too early to talk!" Qi wrapped the pipe in his hand with armed color, quickly approached Smoker who was sitting on Luffy, and swung the pipe in his hand to knock him out. If he hadn't been observing the movements of the mysterious man, would this navy be so arrogant?

"Let's go, Luffy!" Killua picked up Luffy, pushed him behind him, stood in front of him, clenched the weapon in his hand, and stared at the tall man standing in front of him with a serious expression. If this guy was their enemy, it would be troublesome. He could only try to delay him as much as possible and let Luffy and Sanji leave first.

"What's wrong, Qi!" Luffy felt Qi's nervousness. He stuck his head out from behind Qi and looked at the tall man in the green cloak in confusion. He could feel that this man was very strong, even stronger than the navy just now. Luffy grinned and took a fighting stance. "Your tattoo is very cool. Are you a navy?"

Smoker stood up from the ground and looked at the man in the green cloak solemnly. "The government has always wanted your head."

"The world is waiting for our answers..." Dragon grinned before a strong gust of wind passed through Odd, Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro, blowing them up and flying towards the coast.

"Go ahead! If that's how you do things!" said the dragon with a smile.

"Why are you helping that boy, Dragon!" Smoker shouted over the storm.

"Is there any reason to stop a man from setting sail?" Long turned around and left Smoker with his back.

Smoker watched the dragon leave in silence.

……

"What happened." Luffy pushed the rocks off of him and looked around, noticing Nami and Usopp calling out to them.

"The boat is going to be blown away!" Qi said, "We have to get on board quickly."

"Okay, leave it to me!" Luffy said as he ran towards the two buildings behind them, then grabbed the sides of the buildings with his hands and continued to run backwards, while his arms kept pulling back.

"Hey! Luffy, why are you going back!" Sanji shouted in confusion as he watched Luffy walking towards the back of the house.

"I have a bad feeling." Zoro whispered, sweating profusely.

"Me too." Sanji suddenly reacted and watched Luffy's actions nervously.

Qi watched Luffy's actions and he could already foresee his fate.

"Here I come!" Luffy yelled as he jumped in the air, pulled his arms back, and rushed in the direction of Lucci and the others "Rocket!"

"Run!" Zoro shouted while trying to avoid Luffy's impact.

"It's useless!" Qi said helplessly. No one could escape from Luffy's rubber rocket.

......

"Hahaha, it looks like the boat is about to capsize!" Luffy laughed excitedly while sitting on the railing.

"Look at that light." Nami said with a smile. She had been worried that they would be deviated from their course because of the storm. She pointed at the light and explained, "The intersection of the Grand Line is right in front of that light."

"This needs to be celebrated!" Sanji brought a bucket to the middle of the deck and said with a smile, "Let's have a launching ceremony!"

Sanji put his foot on the bucket and said "I'm going to find ALL BLUE!"

Luffy grinned and put his foot on the barrel "I'm doing this to become the Pirate King!"

Zoro grinned and put his foot on the barrel, his face serious "I want to become the greatest swordsman in the world!"

"To draw a world map!" Nami said with a smile.

"I...I...to become a brave sea warrior!" Usopp shouted.

Finally, Qi stepped forward with a smile and said seriously, "In order to make Luffy the Pirate King!"

"Bang!"

The barrel exploded beneath everyone's feet.

"Set out towards the Grand Line!!"

"Oh!!"
