【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

"We're here!" Luffy said with a smile.

They pushed the door open and were about to wake up the two drunkards when a huge explosion suddenly came from the sea level. Luffy and Qi turned and looked at the shore. There was a ship burning on the sea over there. Qi realized that was the direction Zoro and the others left.

"What the hell!" Qi opened his eyes wide and looked at the burning ship. "It seems that the pursuers are here."

"We have to hurry." Luffy clenched his fists, his expression a little serious.

Qi found Sanji and Usopp, then wrapped his fists with Haki and punched each of them.

"What! It hurts!" Sanji and Usopp shouted in confusion, holding their aching heads.

"We have to leave quickly!" Luffy said seriously, then Killian pulled Sanji, and Luffy pulled Usopp, and they ran quickly towards their ship.

"Why!" Sanji and Usopp shouted in confusion. They didn't understand why they had to leave so soon.

"I'll explain it later!" Qi said seriously.

After hearing what Qi said, they immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. Qi and Luffy's voices rarely sounded so solemn, especially Luffy's.

……

"I'll go drive the boat!" Zoro said and ran towards where Merry docked.

On the other side, Nami noticed the blood on Vivi's lips. She bit her lips when she saw Ikalem's ship explode. Nami immediately hugged Vivi and said firmly, "It's okay. I promise we will get you to Alabasta safely. They saved the entire East China Sea by themselves."

"Yeah." Vivi nodded firmly, took one last look at Ikalem's ship, and then followed Nami to run towards their ship.

Nami followed behind Zoro, and seeing Zoro about to walk towards the forest, she hurriedly called out to him, "Zoro! You're going in the wrong direction!!"

Zoro pulled up the anchor and looked in the direction of the small street. They were ready to sail and were waiting for Luffy and Qi to come with Sanji.

"This way, Luffy!" Zoro shouted to Luffy who was running.

“We don’t have time to find it.”

"No, I can't just leave it here!"

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoro noticed the quarrel between Nami and Vivi.

"It's running so fast that it's gone. It would have appeared as soon as I whistled." Weiwei said anxiously.

"Is this the guy?" Zoro pointed at the duck that had come up before him.

“It has been there all along!”

Soon everyone was on board, and Nami explained to Sanji and Usopp what happened. Qi looked up at the cabin on the second floor and said, "It's very dangerous to enter a pirate ship at will, mysterious lady."

"Oh no, we've been discovered." A woman wearing a cowboy hat and tights slowly walked out from behind the door on the second floor. "It's great that you were able to escape from the pursuers."

Luffy tilted his head and looked at the woman in the cowboy hat in confusion. He didn't sense any malice from her.

"Who are you!" Zoro looked at the woman warily.

Weiwei looked at the woman in horror. "Why are you here, Ms. Quan Sunday!"

"What does this mean? Whose partner is she?" Nami asked in surprise.

"She is Mr. 0's partner. She is the only one who knows who the boss is. We found out after we followed her." Weiwei said.

"To be precise, I asked you to follow me." Ms. Quan Zhouri said while looking at the people below.

"What? Turns out she's a good person." Luffy said with a pout.

"I knew about it a long time ago. It was you who told the boss that his identity was exposed!" Weiwei asked loudly, "What is your purpose?"

"What? So she's a bad guy." Luffy said angrily.

"I saw that you were too serious, so I helped you a little." Ms. Quan Zhouri said with a faint smile on her face, "After all, it is too foolish for the princess to make an enemy of Baroque Studio and want to save the kingdom."

"Don't underestimate me!!"

At the same time, Usopp and Sanji stood on the left and right sides of Ms. Quan Sunday, raising their weapons at her, and Zoro and Nami on the deck were also ready for battle.

"Please don't point those dangerous things at me." Ms. Quan Zhouri said lightly. As she finished speaking, Sanji and Usopp were thrown onto the deck, and the weapons in Zoro and Nami's hands also fell to the ground. "I haven't received any orders to fight with you." After that, she used the power of the devil fruit to take the straw hat on Luffy's head into her own hands.

"It's a devil fruit user." Everyone was a little surprised.

"Are you the Straw Hat Captain?" Ms. Quan put the straw hat in her hand on her own hat with a faint smile on her face. "Straw Hat Luffy."

"Give my hat back to me, bastard, do you want to fight?" Luffy yelled at Ms. Quan Sunday who took his hat.

"You are so unlucky that you picked up a princess who was hunted by Baroque Studio, especially since your next stop is the small garden. I'm afraid you can't reach Alabasta even without our help." Ms. Quan Sunday said with a smile, and then returned the straw hat to the captain who had been making a fuss, and she also threw out an Eternal Pointer.

Qi caught the eternal pointer thrown by Ms. Quan Zhouri.

"With that pointer, you can get through this difficult time. That's a route that even the studio staff don't know." Ms. Quan Zhou Ri said jokingly, "So what are you going to do?"

"Why did you give this to us?" Weiwei asked in disbelief.

"This must be a trap," Zoro said affirmatively.

Luffy reached out to catch the pointer that Qi threw at him, then crushed it with force. "You don't need to decide the direction of this ship!"

"Is that so? That's a shame. I don't dislike courageous people." Robin showed a fake smile on his face and decided not to stay any longer. "If you can survive, we'll see you later!"

Luffy looked in amazement at the giant turtle that Robin rode when she left, "Wow, what a big turtle!"

"What is that woman's purpose? I have no idea what she is thinking..." Weiwei said painfully, lowering her head.

"We have a guy like this on our ship too." Zoro glanced at Luffy who was sitting on the railing.

"That's right." Qi leaned on the railing, next to Zoro who had been lying there for a long time. "Sanji, I'm going to sleep for a while. Call me when the food is ready."

Sanji simply nodded and headed towards the kitchen, it was time to get ready for breakfast.

"Can I really sit on this boat?" Weiwei asked nervously, "It will cause trouble for everyone."

"It's a little late to apologize, don't you think?" Nami poked Vivi's forehead with her index finger and said, "If you don't want to cause us trouble, don't tell us all this in the first place."
