【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

The next morning, after waking up, Dadan rubbed his eyes and looked at the note in shock: "We want independence!"

"What should we do?" Dadan unfolded the note and showed it to Karp worriedly.

"Smartass," Karp said nonchalantly.

"What are you talking about? Their notoriety has spread to the central street. If they hadn't hidden among us bandits, it would have been no surprise that someone would target them at any time!" Dadan said worriedly.

"The vacation is over. We must train them into excellent navy officers!" Garp walked down the mountain.

"Throw the burden to me again!" Dadan shouted angrily from behind.

"what?"

"Goodbye!" Dadan said goodbye to Garp with a smile. After he could no longer see Garp's back, Dadan immediately dropped the things in his hands and shouted angrily, "How can bandits train the navy? This old man is too chaotic!"

"Well, forget it, boss. But no matter what, you are actually very worried about those children!" said one of the bandits with a smile.

"What does it have to do with me? Think about it carefully, this is just right! Just leave here by yourself." Dadan kicked away the talking bandit and said while lying on the ground.

……

"Look at this!" Sabo took out a blueprint and placed it on the tree stump.

"What is this?" Lucci looked at the drawing.

"The blueprints of our base. We can't always live in the wild! So we have to build our own secret base here!" Sabo said excitedly.

"Secret base! So cool!" Luffy shouted excitedly.

"What should we do with the materials!" Ace said on the side.

"We can go to Waste End to find what we need!" Lucci said excitedly.

"That's right, we can have as much of this stuff as we want!" Sabo grinned.

After three weeks of continuous efforts, the four brothers finally successfully built the secret base.

"Wow! It's exactly the same as the design drawing!" Luffy looked at the tree house excitedly.

"Even I think it's good!" Sabo said proudly.

……

"Sabo! It's your turn, don't let him get away!"

"Leave it to me, don't even think about running away!"

"Okay, we've cornered him!"

Ace, Sabo, and Lucci chased a little bear and forced him to the bottom of a cliff.

"Luffy! We'll be at your place soon!" Lucci shouted to Luffy who was standing on the cliff with a smile.

"Here I come, here I come!" Luffy held his pipe and waited excitedly for the little bear to come over.

Lucci, Ace, and Sabo blocked the bear's way in all directions with pipes. Luffy jumped down from the cliff and hit the bear's head from above with the pipe, successfully knocking the bear down.

"Great! I caught it!" Luffy raised his pipe excitedly to show his victory.

"Well done! Luffy!" Lucci shouted with a smile.

"Great, Luffy!" Sabo praised with a grin.

"You can eat as much bear meat as you want today!" Ace said with a smile.

"Great, great, I succeeded in my first hunt alone!" Luffy jumped around the bear excitedly.

"Wait a minute, look at that!" Lucci looked towards the cliff in shock. There was a big tiger standing on the cliff, staring at the little bear that was knocked down on the ground.

"Luffy, be careful behind you!" Sabo shouted to Luffy. The tiger stood on the cliff and seemed ready to jump down.

"Damn it! Did he come here following the scent of prey?" Ace stared at him nervously.

"Tiger!!" Luffy took a step back in fear.

"Luffy, get out of the way! His target is Bear!" Lucci shouted to Luffy.

"I defeated him, I don't want to hand him over to a guy like you!" Luffy shouted at the tiger, trying to attack it with the pipe in his hand.

"The opponent is too difficult to deal with, run!" Sabo said to Luffy nervously.

"No! Get away, bastard! If you don't get out of here, I'll beat you away!" Luffy shouted loudly at the tiger.

Ace, Lucci, and Sabo watched in horror as Luffy was slapped away by the tiger, and they quickly ran in Luffy's direction.

"Luffy!"

"That idiot!" Ace watched in shock as Luffy refused to move away and kept trying to attack the tiger.

"Bastard!" Luffy stretched out his arms and used the rubber fruit to attack the tiger, then was knocked away again.

"Let's run while its attention is distracted by the prey!" Sabo, Lucci and Ace rushed towards Luffy, picked him up and ran away quickly.

"Remember this!" Luffy shouted to the tiger behind him.

"Damn it!" Luffy muttered angrily on the way back to the tree house.

"It's a shame that this is Luffy's first catch!" Sabo said regretfully.

"Forget it, our opponent is that big tiger, there's nothing we can do!" Ace said helplessly.

"But, that's the food I caught! How dare you take other people's things!" Luffy said angrily.

"Luffy, don't be angry, we will avenge you tomorrow!" Luffy comforted.

"Ah! We can prepare the trap tomorrow, and then we can lure it out with food, and then the four of us can definitely defeat him together." Sabo said.

……

"Here it comes" Lucci stared at the tiger coming out of the cave.

"I'll go first!" Ace jumped up to avoid the tiger's claws, then ran towards him along the tiger's claws and hit the tiger's head hard with the pipe, but the moment Ace fell, he was hit hard to the ground by the tiger's tail.

Lucci saw the tiger preparing to attack Ace again, and quickly ran towards Ace, jumped up and prepared to hit the tiger's eyes with his pipe, but was slapped aside by the tiger's claws when he was about to get close. Then Sabo put a rope around the tiger's neck and pulled it, and Luffy stretched out his arms with the rubber fruit, and accidentally hit the tiger's eyes. The tiger's attention was instantly attracted by Luffy, and he tore off Sabo's rope and rushed directly to Luffy, preparing to hit Luffy with his tiger paw.

"Luffy!!" Ace, Lucci and Sabo shouted in horror and rushed towards Luffy quickly.

At the critical moment, Ace, Sabo and Lucci ran to Luffy and held up the tiger's paw. "Luffy, are you okay? We need to retreat first!" Ace, Lucci and Sabo said to Luffy who was sitting on the ground while holding up the tiger's paw.

"Ace, Sabo, Luffy, we have to make a plan and defeat it together!"

"What should we do?" Ace looked at Lucci and said.

……

"Sabo, Lucci get ready, he's about to come out!" Ace said, staring at the tiger that was about to come out.

"Oh!"

Sabo stepped forward first to provoke the tiger, "Come here, stupid tiger!"

Sabo was chased by the tiger and ran towards Lucci's direction "Lucci, get ready, he's coming!"

"Leave it to me!" As he said that, Lucci jumped over and hit the tiger's head with his pipe to attract its attention.

"Luffy, stretch your arms as wide as possible, and when I tell you to release them, you'll push me out," Ace said to Luffy behind him.

"Oh!" Luffy nodded excitedly.

Ace thought of the plan Luffy had mentioned and clenched the pipe in his hand. "Ace, you have the most strength. Sabo and I will lure the tiger to this position. Then, Ace, you will use the elastic force of Luffy's rubber fruit to jump onto the tiger's head and hit its eyes with the pipe!"

"Ace! Are you ready? It's coming!" Lucci shouted to Ace.

"Luffy!" Ace yelled.

"Rubber, rubber!" Hearing the sound, Luffy let go instantly and used his ability to bounce Ace up. Ace used Luffy's strength to charge at the tiger, "Die! Rocket!"
