【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 299 I have decided!

"I want to learn to fly like a ship repairman to find Usopp..." Luffy suddenly thought of Usopp halfway through his speech and hurriedly shouted to Zoro and Chopper, "Oh, by the way, Usopp is in trouble!"

"We all know, come with us, we are on our way to their lair now!" Zoro said as he walked forward.

"Wait, Zoro, not that way!" Chopper looked at Zoro in shock as he walked towards the direction they were coming from.

"Of course I know!" Zoro turned around angrily.

……

Qi looked at the figure of a rubber man jumping in the air not far away, and the corners of his mouth twitched. That guy really knows how to attract attention. It was not until Luffy's figure completely disappeared that Qi withdrew his gaze and turned his attention back to what he was going to do.

He was standing on the roof of a warehouse in Dock No. 1, extending his Observation Haki to search for what he wanted. He had been trying to track the auras of Robin and the masked man, but strangely, their auras completely disappeared from the moment they entered that door.

However, during the search, he did find two special life points. They did not hide too much and seemed to be very confident in their own strength.

However, the aura of these two people is very similar to that of the masked man who took Robin away. Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at the two ship repairmen in the shipyard. Could they be the partners of the masked guy? In any case, this is indeed a clue. Even if it is just a guess, it is much better than searching blindly.

Then he noticed one of them leave the shipyard and turn down a dark alley.

"I hope this is useful." He thought, then used the surrounding buildings to jump down and ran along the path towards his target.

Qi released a wave of Observation Haki and used his ability to enhance his senses, tracking the target from a distance, not too close nor too far, maintaining a distance that would keep him from being discovered, until he entered a strange air door in a corner. The next moment his breath appeared in a tavern not far away. It was worth it that his Observation Haki followed him closely. It would be troublesome if he lost him again.

"It appeared..." Qi felt the life point that belonged to Robin in the tavern. The breath of the masked man was also in it. They were indeed in the same group, but what exactly were they going to do? Why did Robin leave with this group of people? Qi was full of doubts.

He could sense that Robin didn't really want to leave them, but he didn't know what was stopping Robin...

Calming himself down, Qi stared at the tavern in the distance. No matter what happened, the first thing he had to do was to take Robin away. Everything would be decided after Robin returned to them and they left the island. If she still wanted to leave at that time, he would not stop her as long as Luffy agreed.

……

"Come back!" Usopp stared at the closed door in despair, not caring about the beatings he received. Whenever he thought of the Merry losing the chance to be repaired because he had not protected the money, he hated himself immensely, hated his own weakness.

"boom!!"

The huge noise at the door successfully attracted everyone's attention. The Franky family stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the door. The next second, the back door of Franky's house was kicked away in front of everyone's shocked eyes.

"Sanji!!" Usopp murmured in surprise, and then shouted anxiously, "Go chase Franky who just left. He took away the money we used to repair the Merry!"

"Ah, I get it, but let me deal with these bastards first!" Sanji looked gloomy and glared at the Franky family angrily.

"You bastards! How dare you beat our long noses like this!!"

"Rocket!!"

"boom!!"

The Franky family fell into stunned silence, staring at the huge new hole that appeared in the wall. A boy in a red shirt and a straw hat stood up from the dust.

"Luffy..." Usopp muttered.

"That's... Straw Hat Luffy!!" Zambai shouted in shock.

"I told you not to do this..." Zoro groaned, touching his aching head.

Chopper was knocked dizzy by the impact, until he saw Usopp lying on the ground covered in blood. Chopper immediately woke up and shouted in shock, "Usopp!!"

"Usopp, are you okay? There's so much blood!" Chopper quickly ran to Usopp and asked worriedly.

"Treat him first, Chopper!" Zoro reminded.

"You guys are here just in time!" Sanji took out a cigarette and lit it. "These guys are the ones who injured Usopp. What should we do, Captain?"

"Need I say more?" Luffy clenched his fists, his expression grim, "I'm going to smash them to pieces!"

"To pieces!" The Franky family trembled in fear and looked at the Straw Hat Pirates who were gradually approaching them in horror.

Zambai felt the aura emanating from the Straw Hat Pirates and suddenly realized that this group of people was not as simple as they thought. These guys were very powerful. Zambai hurriedly shouted, "Hey, you want to take back the 200 million Baileys, but the money is no longer with us."

"So even if you fight like hell here, you won't get the money! Because our boss took us to the black market to buy things!"

"Shut up!" Sanji bit his cigarette and said coldly, "This is not a question of money anymore."

"Yeah, it's too late..." Zoro tied the green bandana on his arm over his head.

"Since you insist on doing this, let me show you how powerful our Franky House is!"

"Use all guns!!"

"Go ahead and kill them! There are only four of us!"

"Bang!!"

"boom!!"

"what's up!?"

"Why are they so powerful!?"

"Run! We can't win!"

"Run from behind!"

"If you have the guts to provoke me, don't run away!"

"Ah! Big brother, help me!!"

……

Sanji sat on the ruins of Franky's house, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and looked at Luffy who was standing at the highest point of the ruins. "Are you going to chase Franky?"

"Where can we find it?" Zoro said as he tied the green turban around his arm.

"That's not good... Even if we kill that Franky, he might have spent all the money..." Sanji said with a headache.

Zoro crossed his arms and leaned casually against the broken building behind him. "What should we do? Even if we wait and see, he won't come back so soon!"

"It's no use saying anything here, let's go back to the boat first! That guy Qi told us to get ready to leave the island, and Sister Robin didn't even say where she was going!" Sanji sighed, threw down his cigarette butt and stomped it out.

"Did Qi say anything?" Luffy turned and looked at Sanji and asked.

"Let's talk about it back on the ship. I don't quite understand what Qi means, but it makes me feel uneasy." Sanji frowned and said.

"Luffy!" Usopp stood up from the ground.

"Usopp, are you okay?" Luffy jumped down, walked to Usopp, looked at the injuries on his body and asked.

"It's okay, but... I'm sorry, Luffy, I couldn't protect the money..." Usopp said guiltily, "Merry will be repaired soon..."

"Usopp...I've decided!"
