【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

The masked man punched him in the stomach with his foot, and Lucci flinched in pain and fell to the ground.

"It looks like it's you," the masked man said coldly as he looked at Lucci's painful expression.

"In that case, anyone related to the Son of Dragon must be eliminated!!" The masked man looked at the Son of Demon on the ground and gave an evil smile.

Lucci looked at him with red eyes as he walked towards Sabo, "Sabo!! Run!" He shouted desperately at the masked man's back, as he continued to walk towards the fallen Sabo.

"No!!" Lucci struggled to get up with all his might, and staggered towards Sabo.

Rob grabbed Sabo's unconscious body, turned to look at the Dragon Son walking towards him and smiled evilly, "This is all your fault, anyone who has anything to do with you deserves to die!" He liked to see the little devil's painful expression, and before throwing the body in his hands off the cliff, he paused for a moment and slowly let go.

"No!! Stop it!" Lucci screamed, and a powerful air wave passed through the forest.

The masked man looked back at him, and the last thing Lucci saw before he passed out was Sabo's unconscious body falling towards the cliff.

Rob stared at the unconscious demon boy. He felt a fear that he hadn't felt for a long time. This boy was still weak, but he could feel it from the bottom of his heart. The child's eyes were manic, full of fear, panic, and anger. He knew what had just happened. Rob had only felt it in monsters with stronger lives, but never in a little devil like this. This child actually had the qualifications of a king.

……

Long felt a strong energy fluctuation suddenly coming from the forest, "Domineering color?" Long said in surprise, and then flew towards the direction of the forest.

When Long reached the river bank, he suddenly felt a faint breath, and then reached out and pulled a drowning blond boy out of the water.

……

Late Night Border Town

"Hey! Look, there's something strange about the garbage mountain!!"

"Is it on fire?"

"Hey, what's going on? It's like a forest fire! A garbage mountain with such high humidity can actually catch fire... I've never seen anything like this before!"

"It's dangerous here! Citizens please stay away from the border town and move to the central street!" A guard of the King's Army shouted to the people at the city gate.

"Everyone, run away! The fire is spreading from all directions!" People living in the garbage mountain fled in all directions.

"The coast and the entrance to the forest are a sea of ​​fire!"

"We can't escape!!"

……

"Ace! Fire, fire is coming!" Luffy stepped back in fear.

"Luffy! Be quiet and don't move! I will take you out!" Ace said sternly to Luffy, while trying hard to cut the rope tied around his wrists with a piece of glass. Due to the way he held the glass, the piece of glass in his hand slipped down several times.

"Okay!! Cut it off!" Ace quickly got his hands out of the cut rope, then untied the ropes between him and Luffy. Ace pulled Luffy up and ran out of the ship.

"It's so hot! It's so hot! I don't have the strength to escape!!" Luffy cried and rolled on the ground trying to cool down.

"Damn it!! We're in trouble!" Ace looked at the flames all around him, he knew that Luffy's rubber physique was more afraid of heat and fire than most people, he didn't know how to comfort Luffy now, if Lucci and Sabo were here they would definitely be able to calm Luffy down, now he could only treat him the same way he did before.

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will abandon you!!" Ace shouted angrily at Luffy.

Luffy pouted and bit his lower lip hard to stop himself from crying "Ouch! It's not hot at all!"

"Phew! There's a sea of ​​fire outside." Ace looked around for a way out.

"Woooa! It's so hot! Not hot! Cough cough... breathing is so difficult! Not difficult!" Luffy tried hard to follow Ace.

"There will be a way!! I'm here!" Ace panted, feeling a little distressed and guilty when he saw his brother comforting himself. "Sorry, Luffy, I will make it up to you when we get out," Ace thought to himself.

"Run, Luffy!" Ace turned around and looked at Luffy.

"Huh...Huh..." Ace and Luffy were dodging the garbage that fell from time to time in a panic. They were surrounded by flames.

"I wonder if the uncles in the garbage mountain escaped successfully..." Luffy said worriedly as he looked at the flames around him.

"You still have the time to worry about others! Damn, you don't even know where this is!!" Ace said angrily while looking around.

"Who allowed you to escape, little devils!" Bluejem's angry voice suddenly came out.

"Bluezem!!" Ace and Luffy stared at Bluezem who suddenly appeared in shock.

"Why is the arsonist still here? Shouldn't he have escaped long ago?" Ace stared at him warily.

"Shut up, little brat! We are completely desperate!" Bluejem said with a distorted face.

Ace's hair stood on end when he saw Bluezem's crazy expression. "Luffy, let's go!" Ace and Luffy ran back quickly.

"Catch them!" Bluejam ordered. "Aren't we partners working together? Let's die together!"

"You haven't told us where the treasure is! Instead of letting it be burned by fire, it's better to give it to us!" Bruejimi laughed crazily.

"Your life is in danger, yet you're still thinking about the treasure!" Ace looked at Bluejem's crazy expression and felt a little worried.

"Stop talking nonsense, those are Ace and Sabo..." Luffy shouted angrily at Bluejam.

"Okay, I'll tell you," Ace said calmly.

"Ace!! It took you, Sabo, and Lucci a long time..." Luffy shouted in shock.

"Sabo and Lucci will also understand! Now your...our lives are the most important!" Ace said seriously.

Bluejam's two men suddenly caught them when they were not paying attention. "What are you doing! I have already told you the location of the treasure!" Ace shouted angrily.

"Who knows if you are lying!" Bluejem laughed crazily.

"Stop joking. By the time you find it, there will be nowhere to escape! Go by yourselves if you want to go!" Ace yelled angrily at Bluejem.

"Don't make me angry!" Bluejem stepped on Ace and pointed his gun at Ace angrily, "Even if it depends on the treasure of the little devils, I swear, I will make a comeback and take revenge on the nobles." Bluejem looked at them and added, "Isn't your noble brother the same? He treats other people like garbage."

"Sabo doesn't think that!" Ace retorted angrily.

"What do you know? All nobles are the same. He just wants to feel superior to you. He looks down on you in his heart. He is just teasing you!" Bluejem roared angrily.

"Don't you dare slander Sabo!" Ace shouted angrily at Bluejam.

"That's right! Sabo just wants to be free!!" Luffy angrily bit the arm of the person who grabbed him.

"Damn brat!" The bitten thug threw him down angrily, drew his knife and slashed at Luffy. Although Luffy used his pipe to block in front of him, the thug's strength was too great and he directly cut off Luffy's pipe, and then continued to cut down, injuring Luffy's forehead.

"Luffy!!" Ace watched in horror as the gangster slashed Luffy and then raised his knife to stab the defenseless Luffy.

"Don't touch Luffy!!" Ace shouted angrily with his eyes closed.

A powerful energy wave spread out from Ace's body, and all the thugs around him fell down, leaving only Bluejem still standing.

"What did you do?! You little brat!" Bluejem looked at his men all falling down, and angrily raised his gun and shot at Ace.

"Ace! Stop it!" Luffy shouted in horror.
