Chapter 15 - chapter 15 Diamonds and Shadows

Screen 1 – Zoro's Deep Dive

Deeper in the cave, Zoro swings his pickaxe against a glowing blue stone.

"Diamonds," he mutters, smirking. "Finally."

He fights through a few monsters with ease — zombies, spiders, nothing serious.

"Too easy," he says, brushing off dust.

Zoro spots another cluster of diamonds deeper below and climbs down carefully — but one wrong step sends him slipping toward lava.

"Tch—damn it!" He barely manages to catch himself with his sword, using it to pull up to solid ground.

"Man… even down here, lava's a pain."

He mines the rest of the diamonds, then spots a strange figure ahead — tall, black, with glowing purple eyes.

Zoro tilts his head. "What the hell is that?"

The creature stares back. For five seconds, neither moves.

Then the Enderman shrieks and charges.

Zoro dodges lightning-fast strikes, then counters with three clean slashes — SHING! SHING! SHING!

The Enderman disintegrates into smoke.

Zoro exhales. "Persistent thing."

He mines a few more blocks and discovers emeralds shining in the wall.

"Looks like the chef's lesson is done."

Screen 2 – Luffy's Cave Chaos

Meanwhile, in another part of the cave, Luffy smashes rocks with his bare hands.

"Whoa! These blue rocks are shiny!"

He finds diamonds too — but as he digs deeper, the ground gives way.

"Ahhh!"

He almost falls into lava, barely stretching his arm to grab the wall. "That was close!"

When he pulls himself up, he notices the same tall, black creature with purple eyes staring at him.

Luffy grins. "Hey, you look funny!"

The Enderman lets out a piercing scream and rushes at him.

Luffy dodges easily. "So you wanna fight?"

He winds up his fist — "Gomu Gomu no… Pistol!" — and knocks the Enderman out in one hit.

Luffy laughs. "That guy was weird. Anyway… more shiny stuff!"

He keeps mining until he finds emeralds too.

"Nice! Now I can show the chef!"
