【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 384 A Country Full of Women

"Hey! He's awake!"

"He slept for a long time..."

"Hmm?" Luffy looked around in confusion. "Where is this? What did I do? I just remember eating mushrooms and then..."

Luffy stood up from the bed, scratching his head in confusion. Suddenly he realized that his hat was gone. "Hat!?"

Luffy noticed the group of women making a fuss outside the railing. One of them was wearing his hat, so he immediately reached out and took it back. "Give it back to me, you bastard!"

Then he noticed that he had no clothes on. "Do you know where my clothes are?"

"Hey? What's in the bag between your thighs before you put on your clothes?" One of the women suddenly asked this question.

Luffy was puzzled. These women were really strange. "Don't you know? This is a golden egg!"

"Golden eggs!?"

“How luxurious!!”

"Can you take down the golden egg and show it to us?"

"How is this possible? You want to kill me!" Luffy shouted in disbelief. This woman was such a weird person.

"This is your clothes. Your original clothes were torn, so I made you a new set."

"Hey, thank you, even though I don't know you." Luffy happily took the clothes from the woman's hand, and the next second he looked at the three circles of strange lace that appeared on his clothes in disbelief. "What is this? I'm a man!!"

"Prepare to attack!"

Luffy turned around with a confused look at the women outside the railing who suddenly took a fighting stance. "What's wrong with you?"

"Your words and actions just now were completely ungraceful. You are indeed a race that is incompatible with us!"

Luffy looked confused "What happened? Did you save me?"

"You passed out after eating some deadly mushrooms and these girls saved you!"

"I see! Thank you!" Luffy looked at the girl who had just given him the clothes and apologized, "I shouldn't have complained about clothes. Put down your weapons!"

According to the women's narration, Luffy realized that he had come to a country full of women and that no men were welcome, so when they shot arrows at him, he kicked the ceiling above his head and escaped. He had no reason to fight with these people who saved his life. However, he had to take off the lace on his clothes, which was so ugly, because he was a man.

"Thank you for helping me remove these laces." Luffy thanked the girl he brought over while removing the bandage on his arm.

"They actually hate lace. Men are really weird..." Hinata looked at Luffy curiously. This man brought her to this forest when he left, just to ask her to help remove the lace from his clothes. She thought she would die. After all, everyone said that men were a very bad race.

"Well... whatever you think, thank you for helping me, I'm going to find my friends now!" Luffy said goodbye to her with a smile, "Woooooooh, I'm going to return to Shampoo Land upside down like this. By the way, can you give me a boat!?"

"You really can't stay idle for a minute..." Hinagiku looked at the noisy Luffy speechlessly. "But there are no ships. This is the Calm Belt. There are only sea kings around. The only ship is Snake-sama's serpent ship. Snake-sama is a woman of great martial arts admired by all of us citizens. She is our Empress, Boa Hancock, and only her pirate ship can pass through the Calm Belt."

"This is bad, there's no wind!" Luffy said dejectedly, then confidently said, "Then I'll make a raft and paddle back!"

Daisy looked speechlessly at the raft made by Luffy, which was made of wood. It could not be called a boat at all. Sure enough, he sank the next second and could not swim. Daisy had to go down to save him. Men are really strange creatures. They are so noisy and persistent, and they can't swim.

"I have no obligation to help you!" Daisy said, wringing out the cloak in her hands.

"Ah, damn it, if only Franky was here..." Luffy sighed and then noticed that the women had caught up with him. "Oh no, they're catching up. I'm leaving now!"

Hinagi looked at Luffy in shock as he quickly disappeared into the forest. He was so powerful that he disappeared so suddenly.

"Daisy, are you okay?"

"Hey, I'm fine."

"We have to get rid of that man quickly. Lady Snake is back."

……

"What should I do now?" Luffy stepped onto the edge of the city wall and walked along the edge while thinking about how to get back to Sabaody. Although everyone had his life sheet in their hands, the Sunny was also in the Sabaody Archipelago, and they still had to go find Lucci and Ace together. "But Nami is not here, I can only drift with the waves. It would be best if there was a ship that could take me to the Sabaody Archipelago."

Luffy put his index finger on his forehead, smoke continued to rise from his head, and closed his eyes to think, "She said there is only one ship on this island, so I have to go see the leader of those women. The leader usually lives in a high-rise building... Hmm... I'm thinking too much, I'm going to have a fever!"

"Anyway, let's go to the tall building first!" Luffy made a split second decision and jumped directly towards the tallest building, landing right on the roof. The next second, he panicked and found that the roof under his feet was sinking. "This is too fragile!"

"Yeah, it's water! It's so hot, I'm going to drown!" After the roof collapsed, he fell into the pool below the roof. Luffy panicked and kept floundering in the water, thinking he was going to drown. After floundering for a long time, Luffy realized that the water was very shallow. Looking at the mist around him, he realized, "It turned out to be a bathhouse..."

Noticing another presence in the room, Luffy looked up at the naked woman in front of him in confusion and noticed a familiar pattern on her back. "I think I've seen that pattern on your back somewhere before."

"You saw me!"

Luffy looked at the suddenly angry woman in confusion. Then two tall women rushed into the room, glaring at him menacingly. "Huh? No... I'm not..."

Before Luffy could finish his explanation, the woman interrupted him and told him that the symbol was something they would rather die than be seen. Luffy instantly realized that he seemed to be in trouble. Before he could apologize, the woman sent a strange light wave at him, "What is this?"

Luffy looked at the woman across from him in confusion. Didn't she attack him? Why didn't she react?

After the other side repeatedly launched useless light wave attacks at him, Luffy ran away. He just wanted to see the leader of these women and had no time to wait here for her to launch messy attacks.

……

"Why is this snake like a rope!" Luffy shouted dissatisfiedly. He was just about to jump out, but was entangled by two snakes and then taken to the square below. There were many women sitting in the audience seats. I don't know what they wanted to do.

Luffy said to the snake that tied him up, "Let me go."

"Ah, that's great, thank you." Luffy stood up and ignored the exclamations from the audience. He looked up at the woman sitting high up. It was the woman who was just in the bathhouse. "Are you their boss? Give me a ship!"

There was a brief silence, then the women let out angry shouts.

Luffy blinked, looking at the anger of the women around him in confusion, then remembered the etiquette Makino had taught him and added, "Please!"

"Men, tell the truth. What is your purpose in coming here?"

"I don't know either. I was suddenly beaten away. When I woke up, I was here." Luffy replied, "If you want to tell me my purpose, I just want a ship. It would be great if you could send me back!"
