Chapter 14 - chapter 14 arrive in cave

Screen 1 – The Descent

Luffy and Zoro pack their gear: 64 torches, 64 food items, and one bed — just in case.

It takes them an entire day to travel the 9 kilometers to the cave.

When they finally arrive, Luffy looks into the dark tunnel.

"It's so dark! Hey, chef! You were right — this place needs torches!"

Zoro lights one and nods. "Yeah, the old man knew what he was talking about."

Luffy grins. "Alright, I'll take this side!"

Zoro sighs. "Fine. I'll take the other."

They split up, each heading into opposite tunnels of the massive cave.

Screen 2 – Separated in the Dark

Luffy walks deeper, placing torches as he goes. "Don't get lost, Zoro!"

Zoro's voice echoes faintly from somewhere far away. "I won't! And stop eating all the food!"

Luffy laughs, still chewing. "Heh, too late."

Both start mining — breaking stone, finding iron and coal — when the ground suddenly shakes.

Strange sounds echo through the darkness.

Luffy stops. "Huh? That didn't sound friendly…"

Zoro grips his sword. "Monsters?"

Out of the shadows, zombies and spiders crawl from the walls.

Luffy smirks. "Guess the chef forgot to mention this part!"

Zoro draws his blade. "Figures. Can't go anywhere without a fight."

Luffy punches through a group of zombies.

"This place is so dark… even the sun can't reach it!" he shouts.

Zoro slices down spiders and mutters, "Tch… guess I miss the surface already."

To be continued…
