Just as Nami learned part of the truth about Jigura and the island of Domos, there was a room at the end of a jungle path on the back of the island, where the sea breeze was howling.

With stone walls and a wood-paneled roof with a chimney on the roof, and at most one or two rooms besides the kitchen for cooking, it is a very small cottage.

The warm summer sun shone through the small window of the small house, and from the bed in the corner of the room came a dream:

"Meat ......"

That's right, it was Luffy who made this sound with the "king stomach" of One Piece.

"Are you awake?"

Sucrose, who was wearing an iron helmet, was condescendingly looking at Luffy who had just woken up from a dream, his mask was open, and he stared at Luffy on the bed without blinking, and on the monocle in his left eye, there was a scrolling data stream that looked like a phone bug on the screen.

"Ha ......"

With a long yawn and a big stretch, Luffy got up, and Sucrose watched Luffy's every move with great interest.

"Sure enough, when you are conscious, when it touches you, the power of the Devil Fruit cannot be activated? Dark Fruit, what a terrifying ability......"

Sucrose slowly reached out and grabbed Luffy's wrist, at this moment, the "childlike power" in her body that usually moves freely, although she can still feel it, but she can't drive it at all, let alone "put it out" to the extent that it turns Luffy into a toy.

Just like the reason why it cannot be elementalized, the reason why the Dark Fruit can invalidate the abilities of other abilities is also because after touching, the power urged by other abilities is directly consumed by the darkness the moment it is released.

"I remember you ...... I've seen you in Marinfando! You're a sailor, right? ”

Luffy's eyes widened as he looked at Sucrose.

"My sister is Monet, you should be more familiar with her,"

Sucrose smiled slyly, "As for me...... Haven't you heard of Marin Vando's Three Untouchables at the Naval Academy? ”

"Marin Vando's three untouchables?"

Luffy put on a look of trying to think, "I seem to have heard of it, but it seems to be ......"

"You who are the ability of the Dark Fruit of the Natural system, I who is the ability of the Superhuman Childlike Fruit, and Ain, who is the ability of the Regressive Fruit of the Superhuman system...... This is what General Polusalino called the three of us. ”

Sucrose said with a smile as he touched the data recording function of the monocle worn in his left eye.

"General Polusalino...... Yes!! ”

Watching Sucrose's movements, Luffy, who got up from the bed, suddenly found that the pair of sunglasses that Polusalino gave him that he usually wore either around his neck or on was missing.

Brush –

Luffy frantically lifted the blanket and scurried all over the ground. The hooks on the shelves, on the walls, on the floor, under the bed, like a headless fly, seemed to turn this little room upside down.

"Glasses, glasses!"

"It's noisy, Luffy!"

Suddenly, someone said dissatisfied.

Luffy looked at the kitchen across the wall, and suddenly smiled—sitting at the kitchen table was none other than Zoro who had been separated in the sea, and a strange old man was sitting next to him.

"What! So you're here, Sauron! ”

Luffy wasn't surprised at all that his chosen partner, Zoro, was still alive.

"Hey, what do you mean by 'what'! You guy...... It's all because of you landlubbers, I almost drowned! Next time you're left to fend for yourself! ”

"Ah, I don't have time to tell you about this right now! Spectacles! My glasses! ”

"Here you go."

Sucrose took out the yellow sunglasses out of nowhere and handed them to Luffy.

"Ahh My glasses! ”

Luffy's eyes lit up.

"When I brought you here, I kept it for you, and the water was wiped dry."

"I see, thank you!"

Luffy took the sunglasses and put them on immediately, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and instinctively showed a dragging smile that Polusalino had specially trained him for.

"Are these sunglasses so important?"

"Sure, this was given to me by Admiral Polusalino!"

"No wonder it's exactly the same."

Luffy answered Sucrose's question dryly, and sat down next to Zoro leisurely, "Zoro, have you found anything to eat?" I'm hungry......"

Luffy's words fell, and his stomach made a "cooing" sound. He was already so hungry that he was pressed to his back when he was on a drifting boat, but now not only has a lot of time passed, but he has also drunk a lot of seawater and vomited it again, and his hunger is even stronger.

"Eat this, young man."

The old man next to Zoro stood up and placed a porcelain plate with soup in front of Luffy.

"Hooray! There's something to eat! ”

Faced with the steaming soup, Luffy's eyes lit up. Although it was just a plate of soup made casually with chopped vegetables and coarse grains, for Luffy, who was about to take a bite of the necked dragon just now, as long as he could eat it in his stomach, it was all delicious.

"My captain is this virtue, I'm sorry, old man."

Zoro squinted at Luffy, who had almost buried his head in the plate, and said to the old man.

"It's nothing, on this island, everyone has to help each other to live longer."

The old man smiled bitterly.

What do you mean by that? Is the island dangerous? ”

Zoro frowned, compared to Luffy, he only had a little time to wake up, and he only had time to communicate with Sucrose about his identity.

But then his face changed drastically, and he reacted: "Oops, I don't know how Nami is now!" ”

When she was still in the drifting boat, Nami was in worse shape than them, and the huge necked dragon that could discharge electricity seemed to be ...... in the end

"Well, Nami should still be alive, right?"

Luffy replied as he licked the plate.

"Huh? How do you know? ”

"Because we're all alive!"

"Well, that's ...... too."

Luffy and Zoro asked and answered, but none of them were reliable. Sucrose watched them quietly from the corner of the room, Luffy's hand, and the three knives that were placed against the wall behind Zoro's back - Sucrose's eyes kept falling on these things.

"You two...... Your stomach is full, how much has your combat power recovered? ”

"What? Are you going to cut someone for a while? ”

Zoro looked excited.

"I actually met two pirates just now......"

Luffy asked for the old man's permission, and while biting and swallowing the porcelain plate, he briefly told Zoro what had just happened.

Sugar is slightly more detailed.

“…… I see. ”

Sauron's eyes twinkled, and he got up and re-hung the three famous knives on his waist.

"When the guys came to the island, they killed all the disobedient people...... The rest of the people were also treated as slaves by them and forced to do all kinds of work. ”

"Only old fellows like me, who have escaped for the time being because they say there is something else......"

The old man looked out of the house with desperate eyes, and Luffy and Zoro also looked out through the window.

"What's that?"

On the high ground slightly away from the port, Zoro saw a tower, about tens of meters high, carved with strange patterns on its sides.

"This is Piecro's core laboratory on the island, and it is the goal of my mission."

Sucrose somehow turned on the switch on the monocle in his left eye at some point, and observed the tower with the help of this scientific prop, with a serious expression, "The time is almost up, and you can just see it in action." ”

"Running?"

As if to explain Sucrose's claim, the strange lines on the sides of the tower began to glow brightly white, and then the top of the tower slowly opened like petals.

Zoro and Luffy looked at each other.

Rumble!

Then there was a loud roar, and the hut shook and shook.

Then there was a sound that seemed to cut the sky apart, and then a wave of even more violent impact instantly shook the entire island, almost lifting the entire island directly!

The things that the old man had placed on the shelf rolled down to the floor one after another, and he didn't sit on the chair with Sucrose, holding his hands on the wall beside him.

Eventually, the tremors subsided, and the house became a mess.

In addition to being a laboratory, this tower is also a huge turret?!"

Zoro was dumbfounded, looking at the top of the tall tower that was still smoking.

That's right, the top of the tower had just fired a cannonball across the island, the same giant cannonball that sank Luffy's drifting boat in the middle of the sea.

"This is no ordinary turret,"

Sucrose shook her head, "It uses the blueprints of the secret weapon that the sea thief of the year, the 'World Breaker' Bundy Valdo prepared for himself. It's just that after Bundy Waldo was arrested, this drawing should have been confiscated by the agents of the world government according to the archives of the original mission. Later, because the navy's scientists found that its actual combat value was disproportionate to the construction cost, it was sealed and stored again. ”

"But the fact now is that the technology recorded in this drawing, which was supposed to be sealed, was obtained by the pirates who occupied this island? And it was built in secret......"

The corners of Zoro's mouth rose slightly, "I see, it seems that you have a ghost inside!" ”

"That's it, that's why I sneaked in here alone, and even if I had already figured out the coordinates and general situation here, I didn't immediately call the fleet over,"

Sucrose had a strange expression, "To be honest, what to do next, I actually had other plans, but limited by my ability and the equipment I carried, so it was somewhat reluctant." Now that you're here. You should be able to help me, right? ”

"Of course!!"

Luffy, a single-celled creature with a big head after listening to Sucrose's explanation just now, finally found his familiar rhythm at this time, and slapped his fist violently, "The bastard here has blown up our ship, I must beat them all up!" ”

……

"Frankie, you ......"

Sanji's slightly nervous voice echoed through the rock walls.

It's a cave, and there's no light coming in from the outside, and it's very dim because there's no light inside. From the main road connecting the entrance, a series of forks run on either side, and deep inside the cave is a small room-sized open space, the entrance of which is separated by an iron fence - a prison cell that uses the existing natural cave to imprison prisoners.

The water droplets are dripping down, and there is a faint smell of sea in the air, which can be judged from the fact that it is very close to the sea. As a result, the iron fence is rusty due to moisture corrosion.

"Attention, Sanji, this is my super secret weapon!"

The sound of machinery running sounded, accompanied by the sound of chains clattering.

"Hey, hey! I don't want to see it! For a gentleman, this kind of thing will blind you after looking at it! ”

"Then why don't you just close your eyes?"

"Well, I'm slightly interested."

- Before Nami, Luffy, and Zoro arrived on the island, Sanji and Frankie, who were separated from the three of them, had already fallen into a trap and became prisoners here. Although their strength is good, they are like the top-secret blueprints of the "Momo Cannon", and Giggura and Piercro have also obtained the thick stone shackles and chains used by the navy to bind the most heinous criminals. Therefore, after being firmly nailed into the rock wall, relying on ordinary strength alone, even Sanji and Frankie will not be able to get out of the predicament.

However, after all, Frankie is a metamorphosis who is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, even if his limbs and neck are firmly fixed, and ordinary humans like Sanji are completely unable to move, he still has parts that can move.

So, after a few days of brewing, a position that should normally be congested for men has finally completed the infusion of cola and engine oil.

Buzz –

Then it spun at high speed, breaking through the confines of the metal panties that Frankie usually wears inside and out.

"This is my last Coke!"

"Towards freedom! Break the chains that bind us! Super Smash Drill! ”

ps: The cannon of the Momo Fruit Ability, which appeared in the special chapter, has Luffy and the Empress's sugar, and the cannonball was finally cut by Hawkeye
