Here is the next chapter, enjoy reading after a long time! * throws everyone a biscuit to nibble on *

And now let's look at Zorro and the others again:
Chopper whispered very softly: “Be quiet! Something is approaching! But I don't know what or who. I hope that they ... Aaaaaah! "But he couldn't finish his sentence because he was attacked from behind. Zorro quickly drew his swords and Sanji also got ready to fight. Gob and Minky stood back to back to have a better defense. Also Usopp took up his fighting position, he hid behind a tree. Zorro asked murmuring from the corner of his mouth: "Where is the little monster? If he would at least say something." But then everything went very quickly, the five only heard a faint sound Whirring and then saw how the little moose fell to the ground, followed by a strange creature. Gob and Minky sat up relieved and Gob shouted: "Hey, Bailey, come out!Explanation: She is a ninja and our first officer. "In fact, a beautiful young woman came out of the bushes right away. She wore black pants with an equally black T-shirt and many different ninja weapons on her studded belt. Only her hair and her eyes were dark red. After Minky had introduced everyone, They looked at the strange creature lying on the ground in front of them. His whole body was gray. It was wearing a dark gray cloak and a pair of light gray trousers with black boots. His hands were shaped like claws with long nails and long, thin fingers But the worst part was his face: where the eyes would normally be there were large empty sockets, where the nose was only two holes for breathing and the mouth was a single thick, sewn-up bulge. Minky and Usopp had to turn away because of them got sick from the sight of the creature. The others also got a bit queasy when they saw this "something".Bailey took out a rope and tied the creature to a tree, then looked at Zorro and called out to him in a command tone: "Hey, you there, exactly you with the three swords. Open his mouth! Free him from the seams! "Zorro didn't even think of doing what the woman told him to do, instead he preferred to sit down! But Sanji, seduced by the beautiful woman, took the kitchen knife that he happened to have with him and then cut it very carefully The strange creature woke up just then and when it realized it was being captured it gave a bloodcurdling roar, but when it realized that its mouth was no longer sewn shut, it stopped in amazement and then croaked she laboriously: "Don't let the dark ones catch yourselves, otherwise you will be like us!" The seven pirates were very surprised by these words and did not know what the creature meant. Chopper then asked very carefully: “What do you mean?"The dark one coughed briefly and then began to say quietly:" Like you, my friends and I arrived here on the ship seventy years ago. Our captain, Old Joe, was kidnapped by the dark ones at the time. So we went looking for it We became fewer and fewer, because more and more people were captured by the dark. One day it caught me too. One of the dark took me into a dark cave and turned into a human while I was this figure accepted here. Before he died, he told me what it was up to us. When a person is captured by a dark one, the soul of the dark is redeemed and the other has to suffer for it Dark ones around, when he again spoke softly: “I beg you, kill me. I don't want to and can't bear this life any longer. Kill everyone else of our race you see too, for they suffer as much as I do. I beg you that there is no more life here, but only torture.So take this torment away from me! "Zorro asked skeptically:" And what happens then, will we turn into the dark? "Coughing, the other said:" No, you won't. I become human and turn to dust. But you only become dark ones if I have defeated you beforehand! Are you helping me now? "Determined, Zorro pulled his Wado Ichi Monji out of the sheath and was about to strike when the ninja stopped him:" Let me do it! It can be done without spilling so much blood. It's a quick and painless death! "Bailey pulled took out a small ampoule with a blue liquid and dripped it into the throat of the creature, which then turned into a very old person. The old man's death came very quickly and his body dissolved as I said before. But the old man died with a smile and a "thank you" on his lips. The small group stood for a while and thought about what the old man had said to them.Nico sighed, leaned down to Luffy and whispered to him: ,, Luffy, breakfast! "Scipia watched in amazement as the boy with the straw hat was suddenly wide awake and looked around. Luffy was quite disappointed and asked:" Where's my breakfast now? " really better to do now than to eat. Have you actually taken a closer look around? Did you notice that all of the rest of your crew is missing, Luffy? Besides, we have no idea where we are! "But Luffy hadn't really listened to her and dropped one of his usual poutes on the floor." I want something to eat now! "He said like a defiant toddler. Scipia started to laugh and then asked: “And this is really your captain? I don't think so. Come on, Ewe, give the little one something to eat before he starves us! "At first the disgruntled ship's cook just grumbled, but then he took pity on the sight of Luffy and looked in his bag for something to eat.He took out several sandwiches and handed them to Luffy, whose stomach growled unmistakably. Chuck, Ewe and Scipia wanted to sit down because they thought Luffy would eat the ten sandwiches in peace. But as soon as they were seated, Luffy had the food in her mouth and was just swallowing it all at once. Chuck just said dryly: “Well, the guy has no manners at all. ", but Ewe was offended again:" What does this guy think of. I've made a lot of effort and even give him my best sandwiches and he just gobbles everything down like a pig ... "After Luffy again to some extent was full, he looked around again and then asked in astonishment: “Where are Nami, Zorro, Usopp, Chopper and Sanji? And what are they for which? "Nico sighed:" I wanted to explain that to you earlier. I don't know where the others are. They are Scipia, Chuck and Ewe. They are also looking for their friends. However, we do not come from this one Down the island."Scipia got up, cleaned her clothes and then said:" I think I've found a way. Come with me! "The staff fighter ran towards a very high and dense thorn bush and then looked around questioningly because no one followed her: "Hey, what's going on? Do you want to find your friends or our friends? "Then she went on. While everyone else was still quite undecided and suspicious (also because of the prickly bushes), Luffy ran happily after Scipia. Of course, Nico Robin didn't want to leave Luffy alone and so, like Chuck, came after him. Only Ewe As always in a bad mood, he was still thinking about what he should do. But because it was too stupid for him to be left alone, he followed Scipia and the others sullenly. So they walked for a while through lots of undergrowth and bushes until they were completely scratched (only not Ewe, thanks to the grow-up fruit) Apparently they had arrived at their destination, as Scipia was looking for something between the vines with her staff.Nico asked politely: “Can I lend you a helping hand? "While she was wiping off the sweat, Scipia said with a smile:" Oh yes, that would be really nice of you! "Then Nico said with an elegant hand gesture:" 100 Fleurs! " "(Unfortunately, I can't speak French ^^) Scipia took several steps backwards when several ghost hands appeared between the tendrils and pushed them aside. Ewe once briefly forgot that he didn't like the others and said enthusiastically:" That is yes Really practical! I can use that very well when cooking and drying dishes. You ate a devil fruit, right? "Nico smiled and answered him:" Yes, I tried the Flora-Flora fruit. I can make my body parts sprout anywhere like flowers. Oh what's that? "While she was talking to Ewe, her ghost hands had freed a cave entrance from the tendrils. Scipia was already halfway in the cave when she called out to the others:" I think that this is a cave system that connects the individual islands.I've spotted it before, but I wanted a few more people before I went in. And now you are here! “It started when the practical Chuck called out to her,“ What about light? ”Scipia glanced over his shoulder and called out,“ Don't worry, there are a lot of torches here. Come on, come on! "Luffy was already with the fighter and took a torch. He looked at the cave and shouted:" Cool! "

Sodele, that's it again! Hope you liked it. ^ - ^
