【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

"Boss! Something bad has happened!" Magula, carrying a person on his back, shouted anxiously to Dadan and the others.

"It's Magula! Is that Maginot on his back?" The bandit looked in surprise.

"Makino? Makino! What happened?" Luffy walked quickly towards Magura and asked anxiously while looking at Makino on his back.

Ace noticed that Magura and Makino looked strange, and had a bad feeling.

"Luffy! Ace! I'm sorry, Lucci and Sabo..." Makino looked at Ace and Luffy sadly.

"I found Lucci's and Sabo's pipes and Sabo's hat on the cliff near the suspension bridge. There was severe damage there, and blood was everywhere." Magula said in a low and painful voice, "Sabo and Lucci may be in danger."

"What did you say?" Ace angrily stepped forward and grabbed Magula.

Luffy looked at them in shock, not knowing what they were talking about.

"There's no way anything will happen to Sabo and Lucci!" Ace yelled angrily.

"Yesterday, a group of strange people in suits were in the village trying to find out about Lucci. Some of them looked like navy men, and they felt like government officials. I felt a little uneasy. Then there was a big fire in the forest last night, and I was very worried about you. When we were approaching the suspension bridge, I saw a masked man attacking Lucci and Sabo. The last thing I saw was the masked man throwing Sabo off the cliff, and then I lost consciousness for some reason." Makino knelt on the ground, covering his face and crying in pain.

"Lucci...Sabo..." Luffy opened his mouth and cried loudly.

"Where is the person who killed Sabo and Lucci? I will tear that bastard into pieces!! Avenge them!" Ace pulled Magula's collar and shouted loudly.

"Wait, Ace!"

"Stop it, little brat!" Dadan rushed forward and held Ace down.

"Get out of the way, asshole!" Ace struggled.

"You're just showing off after just a few moves! What can you do if you go there? You'll just die in vain. After you die, people will forget about you completely the next day. That's all you can do now!" Dadan yelled at Ace, "Do you know who killed Lucci and Sabo? It was this world!" Dadan ordered the bandits, "Hey! Tie this guy up!"

"Sabo!! Lucci!!" Luffy cried loudly.

"Stop making so much noise! ​​Be a man and don't cry! Luffy!" Ace was tied to a tree, struggling and yelling at Luffy.

……

It was dark and cold. Lucci was still in pain, but it was obvious that his wound had been bandaged. Lucci lay on the cold and hard floor. Lucci recalled that he tried to sit up, but his hands were cuffed behind his back. It was difficult to sit up. His whole body was in pain, but he still managed to sit up and leaned against the wall. It was as cold as the floor. Lucci looked around. There was nothing in the room. He was locked in a cell separated by metal bars.

He had no shirt on, his upper body was covered in layers of bandages, he had no shoes on, his feet were bare, he pulled his knees up, curled up as much as he could, resting his forehead on his knees, hiding his face. "Sabo... Sabo..." He could feel the tears gathering in his eyes, flowing silently, he was crying, usually Luffy would do this, but now he couldn't control himself.

'This is all your fault, and anyone who has anything to do with you deserves to die!'

Sabo... I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Lucci thought in annoyance, was all this because of his birth? Was it because of their father? Although he knew that Dragon's identity would bring trouble, he didn't know that he would lose Sabo because of it. He and Luffy had never even seen "Dragon" their father. But he was very glad that they didn't find Luffy and Ace. As long as they didn't know, Ace and Luffy would not be in danger.

……

"Can you say it again? Sengoku!" he said to his friend.

"According to the orders of the Five Elders, CP successfully captured Dragon's son Monkey D. Lucci while exploring Dawn Island. Under the instructions of the Five Elders, CP is now preparing to escort the captured Dragon's son to Impel Down by warship and use him to threaten Dragon." Sengoku said with his eyes closed, whenever he had to report something he didn't like, he said it as coldly as if he was giving a normal report, he did the same when the report of Rossi's death came, his son died, and he made it sound like any other report.

It didn't sound like he was telling his friends that his 10-year-old grandson had been arrested and would be put in the most brutal prison and would be used to threaten his son.

Garp had to restrain himself from destroying his superior's desk, lashing out wouldn't help anyone, especially Lucci, it would bring him even more attention than he already had.

Cap turned around and walked out as calmly as possible.

"Garp, don't do anything stupid! Think about others and don't let your other grandchildren get involved." Sengoku reminded calmly.

Karp didn't answer. His shoulders drooped as if they were crushed. He looked much smaller and no longer as tall as before.

He walked out and returned to his office, where he did not stay for long. He took his snail and walked out. After walking around the training ground a few times and making sure no one was following him, he found a reason and took the crew out to sea.

When he successfully left the Admiralty, he took out his snail and placed a white snail next to it to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

"Bru Bru! Snap!"

"Hello! Hello!" a gruff voice answered. It was his son, and now he had to tell him the news. It was the only way he could save his grandson.

"Son, it's me. We need to talk." Garp said calmly. He knew he was disobeying the navy, but he didn't disobey orders. After all, it was to save his family.

"Dragon? Are you there?" Cap asked, his son didn't give him any response after he finished speaking, he knew his son was nervous but he had to remind him that they didn't have much time.

"I'm here." Long's voice was no longer as steady as before. "Where was their last whereabouts?"

"According to what I heard, they are almost entering the doldrums. They are using the fastest warships and have never stopped to rest. It's hard to say where they are now, but they will go through the Gate of Justice. We can only intercept them before they enter the Judicial Island." Karp said breathlessly.

"I'm in the East Sea now. I'll try to stop them before they reach the Seven Water Capital as soon as possible." Dragon took a deep breath, fighting off his panic "Have they found Luffy?"

"No, they have only investigated Lucci so far. Dawn Island is no longer safe. When they realize it, they may search Dawn Island again," Garp said nervously. "After this period of time is over, I will get away and transfer them to other places. They don't know that Lucci is still alive. Ace is too impulsive. They can't get involved with Lucci, otherwise they will be discovered together."

"I see" Long frowned "Ace is?"

"Ace is my adopted grandson, he's the same age as Lucci," Garp responded.
