【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 257 'You said this docile snake~'

"They must be looking for the prison." Jonathan said while playing with the chess pieces in his hand, "Then let's strike first!"

"Make way for them at the prison gate. You go to the prison and ambush. Be prepared and wait patiently for their arrival."

"Yes!" Drake saluted and left.

Jonathan put the chess piece in his hand on the table, and at this moment the Den Den Mushi on his desk rang.

"Bulu Bulu..."

Jonathan turned around and picked up the phone. "Hello."

"Report, we just caught a suspicious person. We have confirmed that he is from the Straw Hat Gang. His name is Contriano."

"Contriano?" Jonathan repeated doubtfully.

"Yes, although he claimed to be Lieutenant Colonel Shepard, I think he was obviously lying."

"I see. Thank you for your hard work." After saying that, Jonathan hung up the phone and sighed, "Two Shepards."

Jonathan lay back in his chair, looked at the bag on the sofa opposite him, and muttered to himself, "So when does the mysterious man plan to show up?"

As expected of Commander Jonathan, Lucci followed his gaze and looked at the pile of gold in the corner. This was probably his backup plan. No wonder he was so confident. In this way, even if they successfully found the ship, they would not be able to leave immediately. After all, no pirate would give up his treasure.

Unfortunately, this backhand is about to become a useless move. Lucci grinned. Even the smart commander probably didn't expect that one of the chess pieces was actually hiding next to him. This backhand is doomed to fail. Now that the gold has been found, the next step is to think about how to get Merry and Luffy together.

……

"Someone came out from inside, it looks like that's where we are." Sanji looked at the old man coming out of the prison and said, "But..."

Sanji frowned and looked at the building full of soldiers on duty in front of him. He said with a cigarette in his mouth, a little puzzled, "This is too strange. How can there be an empty road leading directly to the prison? It's like it's telling us clearly, which means..."

"I know!" Luffy interrupted Sanji's next words and added seriously, "Uncle Fortress is a good man!"

"Idiot, it's a trap, a trap!" Sanji covered his face helplessly. He thought Luffy really understood. "He wants to lure us directly into the prison without any effort."

"Isn't this good? We can just go in and rescue Zoro!" Luffy said puzzledly.

"You idiot, why did you deliberately run into someone else's trap!" Sanji said angrily, and then he realized, "Indeed, instead of wandering around outside, it's better to go in directly."

"Sanji, were you reflecting on yourself just now?" Luffy asked with a smile.

"No, go in quickly!" Sanji said angrily and turned around and ran towards the prison.

Luffy quickly caught up with Sanji and said with a grin, "Obviously there is."

"no!"

"Hey, Zoro!" Luffy shouted Zoro's name while running in the Navy prison. "Where are you?!"

Drake was hiding in the dark with the navy. When he heard the voice of the Straw Hat Boy, he looked serious and said, "Be prepared. They are coming."

"It's Luffy! Luffy is here!" Hearing the voice, Usopp shouted excitedly, "Hey, Luffy! We are here!"

"Over here!" Luffy ran down the stairs excitedly and soon saw Usopp and Zoro. He ran towards them quickly and said while grabbing the railing, "Wait for me, I'll save you right away..."

Luffy grabbed the railing and slid down weakly before he could finish the rest of his words. "Ah~ I have no strength left..."

"It's mixed with seastone!" Usopp shouted in shock as he looked at Luffy.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, just surrender!" Drake led the navy to surround Sanji and Luffy, "Straw Hat Boy!"

"You think you can catch us like this?" Sanji grinned, then kicked the railing hard, trying to break it, but the railing mixed with seastone was very hard and did not move at all under Sanji's attack. "Damn, what kind of cage is this!"

"Haha, do you want to kick it open?" One of the marines laughed, "That cage can't be broken without a cannon!"

"Cannon?" Usopp suddenly thought of the Shock Shell in his bag, and hurriedly shouted to Sanji, "Sanji! Sanji, use that. I have a Shock Shell in my pocket. You can use it to destroy the cage."

"Whoever uses it will be in terrible pain!" Sanji frowned.

"Is this the time to say these things?" Usopp complained as he leaned sideways and moved his pocket closer to Sanji. "Come on, take it out."

"Raise your hands and surrender!" Drake urged impatiently as he watched their little movements.

"Wait, I'm going to show you something rare!" Sanji challenged the marines with a shell in his hand, "Now shut up and enjoy the view for me!" As he said that, he pressed the shell in his hand against the railing.

The next second, Bei did not see what Sanji wanted, but...

"You said this docile snake~"

Usopp's voice repeated from Berry, "You said this docile snake~"

Sanji's face instantly turned red.

"Big idiot." Zoro couldn't help but complain.

"Huh?" All the marines looked at Sanji in confusion, and the marine from before laughed again, "Hahaha, what is that? Is this the secret weapon you mentioned?"

"Shut up! I'll kill you if you keep talking!" Sanji glared at the speaking marine with a gloomy face, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Seeing Sanji's eyes, all the marines suddenly shouted in fear in their hearts, "How terrifying!"

"Ah, Sanji, I'm sorry, it's the other pocket!" Usopp said with an awkward smile.

Sanji glared at Usopp and took out another shell from his other pocket. Not in the mood to say anything more, he aimed directly at the railing and pressed the button of the shell. The next second, a foul smell came out from it.

"stinky!"

"Who farted in my Whippet?" Usopp said in disbelief.

"Yes...I'm sorry, it's me." Luffy, who had been lying on the ground holding the railing, slowly raised his hands and admitted it.

Just as Sanji was about to get angry at Luffy, he suddenly noticed the fire on the furnace above the cage and hurriedly shouted, "Oh no, it's going to explode!"

"boom!!"

A huge explosion resounded throughout the entire naval prison. The sailors stationed in the prison heard the sound and rushed into the prison.

The huge explosion just now successfully blew up the cage that imprisoned Zoro and Usopp. Zoro picked up the knife buried under the rubble, and Sanji pulled up Luffy who was trapped under the stone.

After Usopp got the bag, he took out his slingshot from it and fired gunpowder stars at the navy. Then, before the navy could react, they quickly escaped from the navy's pursuit and looked for a way to the bridge.

The people who were chased by the navy, led by Luffy, cleared the navy blocking their way while running forward. They soon reached the end of the prison and successfully escaped the interception of the navy.

Zoro looked at the cliff below and asked, "Is there no way out?"

Luffy looked around and pointed in the direction of the bridge and said "No, we can run along the cliff."

At this moment, several bullets suddenly hit the floor under their feet. Luffy seemed not to see the bullets and still stood there without moving. Usopp and the others hurriedly hid behind the wall on the right. After all, they did not have Luffy's rubber skin.

"Straw Hat Boy, you finally showed up."
