,,Mummy...? ", Anna desperately held on to Beatrice," ... Mama ...? "
"It's not so easy to eat!"
,, Has ... has ... girl .... girl ... girl ... also claims ... right .... wants ... got wild .... be ... she .. .. in vain ... in vain! "
“Don't nonsense! "Nobody could see as fast as Luffy had swept away that something was being carried away, carried into the forest. When the arm snapped back, they all jumped off, held on, rammed their teeth into his arm. He screamed briefly The arm was already longer than normal. It knocked these creatures down. They quickly withdrew.
,,Crap! "Luffy cursed when he saw that they had torn deep wounds.
“You will eat if the victims are still alive! ", said Jacqueline with an expert look," that means we shouldn't give you as much time to bite yourself if possible! ",, Very reassuring! ", Usopp's voice trembled, as did his knees.
“It's really easy! ", grinned Zorro. He pulled the swords out of their sheaths, put the white sword in his mouth, the other two rested in his hands," let's flatten them! "
,, Yes! ", Sanji quietly lit a cigarette," but what are we fighting against? "
“We are guardians, we guard the gate to the dead! "who was closest to them had said this without making any promises or stuttering," we feed on the living! "
"All right! ", Sanji quietly drew on the cigarette, inhaled the smoke and then expelled it," Then let's see if you really have eaten Mia! "
That was the starting signal. The guards ran off, on all fours, they ran. They were damn fast, but speed was only one side of the gold medal, the winner.
They jumped up, Ace did the same, fell through them, burned them all.They rolled on the floor, screeching, trying to put out the flames. Jacqueline gave them the coup de grace, severed their heads. One of them crept up behind her. Two seconds later, his lifeless body landed on the rotted grass. She poured herself in disgust.
“Gum-gum top! ", Luffy had twisted himself and his fists and feet shot in all directions and hit the guards hard. They were unruly, the blows didn't seem to reduce their hunger, but soon they were completely on the ground due to Usopp, Chopper, Zorro and Robin .
Disgusted, the girls watched the whole spectacle. Behind them, they realized it was too late. A horde crept up behind.
,, Fr ... fresh ... meat! "one of them sang.
Startled, they turned around. They were very close. The eyes full of greed. Ready to jump, any moment they would attack Tasha, Nami, Dorothee, Nash, Gina and Anna, dig their yellow teeth into their skin.
Anna held onto Beatrice even tighter.The boys did not notice how they were in danger.
,, Anna, go back! ", Beatrice ordered. The little one let go and stumbled over to the others. Something strange happened. Beatrice was standing closest to these beasts. Tension was in the air, you could literally feel the air boiling, the atmosphere moving. In seconds Gray clouds came up. It was not raining. Something strange, abnormal was surrounding Beatrice. Her gaze grew darker, more cruel. Was that her secret of how she had managed to make a name for herself on the Grand Line when she was so helpless “A strong wind came up, blowing through their hair.
A thunder came down from the sky.
,,Disappears! ", she hissed at the guards, then louder:" Make you crawl back into the holes you came out of! "
Fear was reflected in the guards' eyes. Slowly, cautiously, with lurking eyes, they retreated. Disappeared in the forest, shortly afterwards lightning struck, they heard screeching, then against the silence.The clouds cleared, the air became damp against musty. Beatrice against normal.
,, Man! ", she sighed and sat down on the floor," I'm tired! "
“That was terrifying! ", Gina admitted.
“Helpless what! ", Ace helped her up again. Lightning had not only struck in the forest, but also everywhere else on the hill," Now I know why White Beard wanted you so badly! "
,,May be! ", she yawned and staggered," I haven't done that for a long time, it's exhausting! "
“In any case, you took them all off our backs, not that I couldn't have done it alone! ", trumpeted Usopp with his head held high.
“I wouldn't be too early to be happy! "remarked Robin," they weren't the only ones living here! "
Usopp's face froze to death.
,, Does that mean there are more to come? "asked Chopper.
,, Should! ", Zorro looked around," that up here was probably a dead end! "
“Right, I don't see how this should help us! ", Tasha admitted too.
“Don't we have to look after Mia first?", Luffy was uncomfortable.
“You don't seriously believe that they ate them up? "laughed Charlie.
“Would you have been here if not? ", Jacqueline crossed her arms and pretended to be as indifferent as possible," I doubt if twenty such critters have pounced on her, she will hardly have had a chance! She is not as strong as she always does! "
,, But now slowly, never ever! ", Tasha laughed at her objection," please, you don't believe that yourself? "
“I don't believe either of the two possibilities at all because they are both possible! "It came back shortly," you should keep that in mind, the beasts were quick, each one a bite, then there isn't much left of her either! "
,, Somehow a great team cohesion! ", Usopp whispered to Zorro, who nodded.
“We should go back, there's nothing up here! ", Gina walked across the grass, past the dead bodies, to the path they had come along!"The others followed her slowly.
,, Mia! "When they were at the place where they had left Mia, they did not find themselves, just a few lifeless bodies, this guardian.
,, Mia! ", Beatrice yelled around," where are you? "They followed suit, soon they had spread out at a maximum distance of five meters from each other and called their names, they found many of these guards, all dead.
“Then we have to take the last option! ", Beatrice was deeply determined.
,, And what does it look like? ", Zorro wanted to know. Beatrice took a deep breath.
"MIABELL, where are you?"
Even the birds were frightened and screeched away when they heard the call.
It remained quiet for a while.
,, Miabell? ", Tasha looked at her doubtfully," who came up with the absurd name? "
“Our father, do you have a problem with that? "Suddenly she was there, standing right behind Tasha and sparkling aggressively.
,,There you are!"
,,Where have you been?"
,, Up on the hill, I wanted to know if you finally found the entrance!Seems like that, doesn't it? ", she said the last word bored," no, the fog just cleared, it was really easy to see! "
“What exactly was there to see? "How wildly they rushed off, the way back to the hill.

("We were naive to assume that we would find the gate at the tip of the island, but nobody would have believed that the light was the key to the realm of the dead!", Chapter Six: "The corners of the dwarfs" )

Bring in my first book today, it'll be so awesome, it didn't turn out really well, from a first-person perspective, but it'll get even better, at least I think it's just a sniff, maybe I'll bring the right novel with my Mia here also on the side ...
