(An hour earlier)
Staring at the huge yellow cherry she had always found, Sakura was in the cellar of the boat, where she had fallen.
"Hey! Sakura!" Helmep called out. "Are you okay? Do you want me to come help you?"
"No! I am coming!"
Still staring at the fruit, the girl couldn't help but swallow, while beginning to understand what that fruit was.
" If this fruit was locked in a treasure chest, then that means it is devil fruit. "
Grabbing the large cherry, she stared at it to notice that it had no trace of mold. She had no idea how many years it was here, but the weather hadn't spoiled it at all. It seemed to be perfectly consumable.
"Each devil fruit enables a person to gain power ! So if I eat it, I could become stronger ! But, in that case, I would be cursed by the gods of the oceans."
Afraid by this thought, Sakura is about to put the fruit down. Yet a memory flashed in her mind.
"Sakura, if the government finds out who you are, there are possibilities for them to capture you and use you as a guinea pig to study you! To survive in the world, you have to become stronger. "
Thinking of Garp's words, Sakura froze.
"Everyone ... Garp-san, Coby-san, Helmep-san, Jin-san ... they are all stronger than me and have to not protect me, because I remain weak."
Gritting her teeth, the zombie suddenly opened its mouth before biting into the fruit.
"I want to get strong too! Besides, I can't swim! So being cursed by the seas won't make any difference to me. "
However, finally letting go of the fruit, Sakura's face turned blue, as she wanted to spit out what she had in her mouth. The taste of the fruit was horrible.
"It's disgusting ! "
However, managing to swallow what she had in her mouth, she began to stare at her hands, before wondering.
"Did I really learn from a power ? "
"Sakura ? " Helmep questioned.
"I'm coming." She asserted, closing the small chest, before exiting the room through the hole in the ceiling.
"This is how it happened." Sakura asserted.
Listening to him silently, Wetton finally felt vines appear on his forehead.
"Idiot ! Do you realize how much fortune you just made me lose! From now on, you will owe me a tax of 100 million berries."
"I don't have any money." Sakura retorted. "And anyway, I would never give it to a guy like you."
" What ? Do you dare to disobey the mayor of Ruruka ? "
"I don't care if you are the mayor of a city or even the emperor of a country ! As Garp-san once told me, I have no reason to obey a pirate. "
"In that case, die !" Wetton roared, giving her a powerful punch with his armor.
Hit in the abdomen, Salura felt herself fly through the air. Seeing this, Wetton smirked in satisfaction. Yet, to his surprise, he felt his abdomen suddenly get hit too, by an invisible blow.
"What…?" He wondered, feeling himself recoil.
For her part, managing to keep her eyes open, Sakura let herself land on her feet. Being a zombie, she had finally managed to forget her fear of hurting, when she was unable to feel the pain. For his part, kneeling on the ground, Wetton was coughing up saliva, while resting a hand on his abdomen.
"What does that mean? How did you manage to attack me?"
"I didn't do anything." Sakura retorted, as surprised as he was.
Looking around then, to find the culprit, Wetton noticed that they were alone. Eventually staring at Sakura, he roared.
"Stop lying to me! I'm going to gut you."
Then, before Sakura could react, he punched her in the face, causing her to fall back, as her head parted from her body. But a moment later, Wetton, despite being shielded by his armor, felt his face be violently punched.
"Daddy ? " Philip wondered, seeing him fall to the ground, when he hadn't seen anyone attacking him.
"Please ?" A voice called suddenly.
Surprised, Philip ends up looking around, not to see anyone.
"Who spoke? A ghost?"
"I am here! At your feet."
Looking down, Philip finally saw Sakura's head, who was staring at him.
"You can help me ? "
Looking frozen, Philip then saw the rest of Sakura's body rise to her feet before starting to feel the ground to find her head. Seeing this, Philip opened his mouth wide, before finally falling back. Collapsing to the ground, he now had foam in his mouth, as he passed out.
Seeing this, Sakura didn't know what to say, as she felt her hands grab her head, before putting it back on her neck. For his part, having risen to his feet, Wetton had seen Sakura's strange performance.
"What does it mean ? "
Seeing his grandfather in trouble, Lake sent a bolt of lightning towards Coby, who managed to jump to avoid him. Taking advantage of his diversion, Lake ends up running away and leaps into the air to land near his grandfather.
"Grandpa, be careful ! This girl is a zombie. "
"A zombie?" The man wondered, noting that the girl had no injuries. "Is that why she doesn't feel the pain? Is it the power of her devil fruit?"
"Devil Fruit? Did she eat one ? "
"Yes ! She ate my fruit! But I don't understand how she hits me as soon as I hit her."
"I was a zombie, before I ate that devil fruit." Sakura retorted suddenly.
" What ? " The two men were surprised.
"I've been a zombie for a long time. " Sakura asserted, removing all the makeup from her face." As for my devil fruit, I feel like it activates every time I get hit. . "
Surprised by her words, Wetton then noticed that he had been hit in the places where he had hit Sakura.
"Impossible ! Her Devil Fruit deals damage to anyone who attacks its user. "
"Does that mean that every time we knock her , we will receive the same things as this girl ?"
"That's it ! And since she's a zombie, this girl doesn't feel the pain of my hits ! It's the perfect devil fruit for her. "
Surprised to hear that, Sakura looks at her hands. In the end, she didn't even have to fight to win. The limitless stamina of her body, which was numb to pain, along with her newfound power could allow her to win without having to fight.
" Unbelievable ! The devil fruits are amazing. "
Nonetheless, she got scared, seeing flames bursting from Wetton's jet of flames.
"In that case, I'll set her on fire."
"What ? " Lake wondered. "But Grandpa, if you do that, you're going to die."
"Idiot ! Once unconscious or dead, Demon Fruit users lose the use of their powers. If I char her body, I will kill her."
Then staring at Sakura, who was taking a step, Wetton smiled. nonetheless, thinking of the benefits of Sakura's power, he declared.
"Hey, girl ! Come to think of it, you could be a great bodyguard ! What do you say? If you work for me, I'll give you a lot of money. "
In response, Sakura ran to him, and struck his armor with her sword. However, like Helmep's, her saber shattered.
"Um ? " Wetton wondered. " What are you trying to do ?"
"You want me to abandon children here and help you get rich by stealing other people's money ? Who do you take me for ? "
"Um ? Why are you worried about the fate of those stupid children ? You're just a zombie ! A monster that shouldn't even have a shred of intelligence."
"Shut up!" Sakura roared. "For you, I'm no longer a human? Perfect! Because, if being human means being like you, then I'm happy to be a zombie. I want to help others and not bring misfortune to people like you do. "
"Why do something so stupid as endanger your life when my money could change your life ? "
"Because humans are not meant to kill or harm each other," the young girl asserted. "Even though I'm a zombie, I'm going to save these children and prevent them from staying here forever! And I will protect the town of Ruruka ! Even if this world is not mine, I will help Garp-san to thank him for help me. "
Stunned by her words, Lake stood still. For his part, Wetton suddenly extended his arm and gripped Sakura's throat. Unable to break free, Sakura struggled in vain, while Wetton brought her flamethrower closer to her face.
"Don't worry, I'll blow your brains out in a second! You won't feel a thing."
Scared, Sakura couldn't help but close her eyes, waiting for the moment when she was going to die for the second time. However, the moment she was about to be attacked, Sakura heard Wetton cry out in pain, before letting go. Falling her butt, Sakura surprised to see Lake, who had just electrocuted Wetton.
Falling to one knee, the old man turned to him, before roaring.
"Lake ? What's the matter with you? Have you gone mad ? "
Look down, Lake himself does not do what he has just done. He had to move instinctively. He had not made this gesture to hurt his grandfather. No, he just wanted no one to hurt Sakura.
"Why ? " He wondered. " Her's just a monster."
"Lake-san, it's time for you to realize that money isn't the solution to all of your problems."
"Don't worry ! Whatever happens, I was protecting you ! I swear it."
"Does it take a real reason for a person to help someone when they are in danger?"
Thinking back to all those sentences Sakura had announced since he had met her, Lake ended up begging.
"Grandpa ... don't kill her, please."
"What ? What are you talking about ? "
"This girl… I called her a monster, even though she helped me ! This girl, although I don't know why, I don't want her to die."
"Fool ! " Wetton roared. "This girl ate a devil's fruit ! If we want to get it back, we have to kill this girl! Hopefully, the fruit she bit will be whole again when she will dead ! And then we can sell it. "
"I don't want to." Lake retorted, shaking his head.
At that moment, he was severely punched by his father, who managed to damage his armor in the area of his face.
"Fool ! Have you forgotten who I am ? I am the mayor of this town ! I forbid you to disobey me."
Then, turning around, he grabbed Sakura again, before throwing away.
"As for this girl, she only deserves death."
"SAKURA ! " Lake shouted, seeing her fall into the water.
Immediately, removing his armor, he rushed to the water before diving. Seeing him do it, Wetton let out a tired sigh.
"That idiot… He's really got nothing on his mind. "
"Motherfucker ! "
Feeling a foot strike the top of his armor, Wetton took a step back, all staring at Coby who had just landed in front of him.
"Yet another bugger? What do you want?"
"A guy like you who doesn't hesitate to kill people is not worthy of being mayor," Coby roared. "Wetton, even though fifty years have already passed, you are still just a simple pirate."
"Fool ! The pirates are just a bunch of buffoons who don't understand the advantages of being a mayor! Before, I had to plunder towns all the time to steal treasures, as well as fight the Navy! Today, to making money, I don't even have to leave my house! it's the best job in the world. I'm not like those pirate fools who dream of being the next Pirate King. "
Hearing his last sentence, Coby was silent as Wetton continued.
"They're just assholes chasing chimeras ! Reach Raftel ? Uncover Roger's treasure ? Frankly, who would be stupid enough to believe in nonsense ?"
"Are you the one who dares to say that ?" Coby asked him.
"Hmm?"
"For fifty years you exploited the people of this island, so that you could fulfill a dream that also looked like a chimera! Your pride, your honor, your title of your pirate ... you gave up all that, just for the sake of money! A guy like you doesn't deserve to insult the man I respect the most in the world. "
"The man you respect ? What are you talking about ?"
"Wetton ... know one thing ! The pirates who dream of becoming the next Pirate King are the most motivated men in this world. And that, a man like you could never figure out ! SORU !"
Disappearing from Wetton's sight, the soldier appeared in front of him, before striking his abdomen. Spitting out saliva, Wetton felt his whole body recoil. Not having finished, Coby continued to punch him and gave him powerful punches. Annoyed by this, Wetton aimed his flamethrower at his face.
Jumping back in time, Coby avoided getting charred. However, taking a step towards him, Wetton managed to punch him in the stomach that made him fly towards a boat. Seeming to be stunned at first, Coby finally came to his senses and performed several pirouettes, before managing to put his feet against the hull of the boat he was about to crash into.
Bending his legs as much as possible, he made a formidable leap that propelled him towards Wetton. Then, doubling his speed using SORU, Coby managed to give Wetton a powerful kick, which made him fly inside the Rainbow Tower. Landing on his back, Wetton heard his fuel tanks destroy, before exploding.
Immediately, a powerful explosion was felt, as the rainbow tower was found to be pulverized. Stopping the fight, Wetton's soldiers and all of Jin's clones saw in horror that the only way to get out of here was destroyed.
"What ... ? "
Managing to reach a piece of wood that he was floating, while still holding Rapanui, Helmep looked behind him to see the destroyed tower.
"Damn it."
"Helmep-san!" Henzo called out, while he was on a boat, with the rest of the children. " Come quickly ! "
Seeing them go up, Jin suddenly made his clones disappear, before jumping on their boat. But no sooner had he put one foot on the floor than he had the impression of seeing a blur.
"What…? " He wondered, looking around.
Suddenly he had the impression that the whole place was warping.
" What is happening ? "
Managing to reach the surface, Lake's head appeared, as he hoisted Sakura out of the water. Seeing also what was going on, he wanted to know.
" What is happening ? "
Jumping on various pieces of wood to get to Henzo's boat, Coby asserted.
"We have to get on that boat right away and get out of the area! I don't know why, but I think we have to get out of here right away."
"Henzo ! What is happening ? " Isoka asked him.
"The Rainbow Mist is a very fragile place! First of all, there was the explosion aroused by Ian! And now this! If this continues, the haze will go away for good, and no one will be able to anymore. never get out of it. "
" WHAT ? "
Managing to get his head out of the water, Wetton began to cough several times.
"Stupid brat ! " He roared, looking for him.
Nonetheless, he was surprised to find that he was currently out of the mist, surrounded by debris belonging to the Rainbow Tower which was now completely destroyed.
"What ? The explosion threw me out of the haze ?"
Smiling at the good news, the man immediately started swimming towards Ruruka harbor.
"HAHAHAHA! Perfect ! From now on, the treasure is mine and these brats can't get me in trouble!"
Swimming for several minutes, Wetton eventually reached the harbor and managed to get out of the water. Not caring that he was completely soaked, the man only ran towards his treasure, which was piled up on the harbor.
"All of these treasures are mine," the mayor asserted, grabbing a gold coin.
"Hey!"
Startled, Wetton turned to see a man staring at him.
"You were in Rainbow Mist, weren't you?" Grap asked, cracking his knuckles. "Do I know where my men are?"
Then grabbing a gold bar, it's only wrong to smash into pieces, before Wetton's horrified eyes.
"And if you ever dare to say that you abandoned them, I will do the same with your skeleton."
"Uh ... I .. I ..."
"AHHHHHHH!" Ian shouted suddenly, running behind Garp, with a sword in his hands.
Anticipating his attack, Garp dodged his weapon before punching him, which made the pirate fly towards a wall he went through. Taking advantage of this diversion, Wetton hurried to flee, but hardly had he taken a few steps when he saw a young woman in front of him, walking merrily.
"Get out of my way!" Wetton ordered, trying to punch him.
"Hmm?" The young woman wondered.
Dodging Wetton's punch without a hitch, she fell down before lifting her knee to his chin and punching him that pulverized his jaws.
Falling back, Wetton remained on the ground, unconscious. Seeing this, the young woman began to panic, while apologizing.
"Sorry, I didn't mean! You came running up to me and I thought you wanted to hit me! It was a bad reflex!"
Arriving suddenly in front of the young woman, Garp was surprised at the recognition.
"Emma ? "
" Grandpa ! " Rejoices the redhead.
"It's not good." Henzo asserted, seeing the haze start to change color. "The Rainbow Mist is self-destructing! First, it will close, then it will be gone forever in less than an hour."
Listening to him, all those who were on the same boat as him could not help but be afraid.
"What? But what should we do in this case?"
Looking down, Henzo showed he had no idea. Only the Rainbow Tower could have saved them.
"DAMN IT ! " Helmep roared, hitting the railing of the boat. "Are we really going to die here ? DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT!"
Watching him do it without saying anything, Rapanui suddenly saw something in the sky.
"Hey, look over there!"
Fixing the direction he was pointing, everyone was surprised to be able to see the sun, through the haze.
" The sun ? "
Seeing this, Henzo cried out.
"The mist is closing in and losing its thickness! As a result, the rays of the sun are starting to be visible! Which means that for a few minutes, the Rainbow Mist's output must be sinking. If we can get through it before the mist clears, we can leave this place.
"This boat is damaged, but I think it will be fit for its final voyage." Coby asserted, seeing that he had oars. "Quick, we have to row towards the sun."
"Dad ! " Lake shouted, seeing his father in one of the motorized boats. "Come quickly! If we stay here, we're going to die."
"What ? " Wondered son Philip and the soldiers with him.
"Go up ! " Sakura ordered them.
Already starting to paddle, Coby, Helmep and Jin were soon to be helped by Lake, Philip and the soldiers, who hastened to join them. Remaining in the front of the boat, Enzo was seeing the sunlight disappearing.
" The Rainbow Mist is closing faster than expected ! We only have three minutes."
"Instead of telling us that, come help us !" Helmep ordered.
However, hearing some strange noises, the man eventually saw huge cracks appearing in the floor of the ship, while the ship was destroying itself and he stopped moving forward. "
" What ... ? "
" The boat sinks. "
"Shit ! We can't use it to get to the exit anymore."
" No matter ! " Coby shouted, grabbing Sakura's arm. "We're going swimming."
"What ?"
Jumping then, the boy lands in the water. Then, starting to swim, he placed Sakura on his back. Seeing him do it, Jin and Helmep looked at each other, before imitating him.
"These guys are nuts. " Philip asserted.
"Maybe, you may have no other choice, father." Lake annonced. "If we stay here doing nothing, nosu will never know what the future holds outside of this haze."
"What ? What are you talking about ? "
"It's a zombie who told me that." His son told him, before jumping into the water.
Soon Philip saw some also jump over the boat and start swimming. After all, they all knew they were going to die by staying here.
" Shit ! " Philip yelled, following them.
Already in the water, Henzo was surprised not to see Rapanui and the others.
" The friends ! Where are you ? "
"Henzo! It was good to see you again."
Looking up, Henzo was surprised to see Rapanui and his band of pirates climbing onto another boat, and smiling at Henzo.
"Rapanui ? "
"Even when swimming at full speed you never make it to the exit on time ! Nevertheless, if we create an explosion, by setting the gunpowder on this boat on fire, we can create huge waves that will propel you far away. from here."
"What ? Are you crazy ?"
Continuing to simply smile at the scientist, the children disappeared one by one to run towards the reserve of powder. For his part, remaining alone to watch Henzo, Rapanui ended up telling him.
"Henzo ... Thank you for everything you did to save us ! Now it's our turn to save you."
"Don't say anything. " The scientist shouted as he tried to swim towards the boat.
"Sayonara ! " Rapanui told him simply, going to join the others.
Then, seconds later, the ship they were in exploded. Feeling the shock wave pull him back, Henzo then saw a huge wave form and rush towards him.
"RAPANUI ! " He shouted before being hit by the wave, which rushed him towards the other swimmers.
Turning to watch the explosion, Wetton's soldiers screamed as they saw the wave coming towards them. Within seconds they were swept away, as were Lake and Philip. Locating here on the way to the wave, Coby and the others felt it hit them and whisk them away towards the exit, before finding themselves underwater, trapped in its powerful currents.
"DAMN IT!" Garp roared, seeing the mist disappear. "I have no more choice! I have to go get these morons."
"Stop, Vice Admiral ! " Several soldiers shouted, trying to hold him back. "If you go there, you will never be able to get out."
"Coby and the others are my responsibility ! It's up to me to save them. "
Being perfectly calm, Pasqua smoked a cigarette, while asserting.
"Vice Admiral, let fate take its course. "
"Hmm ? Garp wondered, staring at him.
Smiling, Pasqua declaring.
"I am sure the child pirates will do anything to save them."
At that precise moment, as the Rainbow Mist was about to completely disappear a huge wave exiting, carrying the bodies of various people out of the mist.
"What the…? " Garp asked in surprise.
Suddenly he saw Coby's head sticking out of the water, while he was still Sakura on his back.
"Vice Admiral ! " He shouted, recognizing the old man.
"Coby ! Quick, hurry! Go get all these people out of me and arrest Wetton's accomplices."
" Yes ! " His soldiers shouted, before jumping into the water.
Using a piece of wood that was floating on the surface to move forward, Jin turned to find that the Rainbow Mist was gone.
"A little more and we were dead."
"Somehow, the line between life and death is really very thin." Nodded Helmep , as he stood beside him. "Lucky that this explosion happened. I wonder what created it."
At that moment, appearing between the two men, Henzo began to cough, before screaming.
"Rapanui! Isoka! The idiots ! "
"What is happening ?"
"They stayed inside the mist and caused this explosion to allow us to escape."
"What ?"
"The fools! The mist is gone! Can't save them!"
Knowing this already, Henzo started hitting the water with his fist, all the while starting to sob.
"Rapanui ! Rapanui !"
"Hey, don't bury us too quickly."
Surprised, the trio saw a rowboat stop in front of them, while a man extended his hand to Henzo.
"It's been a long time, Henzo."
Seeing the man in front of him, Henzo only needed a moment to recognize him.
"Rapanui?"
Seeing Smoker quietly smoking a cigar, Hina stared at Reiner, who was staring at the ocean, with no rope or chain tying him to keep him from moving.
"Smoker! Is it really reasonable to give him so much freedom?"
"What do you want me to do ? " The white haired man asked him, "Even if I locked him in the strongest cell in the world, he could free himself by turning into a titan! plus, the seastone has no effect on him! Now that we are on the high seas, attempting to imprison him will only bring our downfall, if he turns into a titan in order to destroy the ship. "
"Maybe, but if he decides to run away, he risks ..."
"I wouldn't run away." Reiner retorted, coming towards them. "You kept your promise by leaving the islanders alone! So I would honor our agreement."
"It's admirable of you."
"Instead of telling me that, tell me what you plan to do with me instead."
"No idea." Smoker confessed. "If I made you come here, it was to tell me everything you knew about immigrants! But apparently you know even less than I do! However, you were able to bring me a name: Widos . "
"Yes! This is the man who took me to this world! Nonetheless, other than that, I don't know what happened and why he did it."
"It's okay! Then I'm sure we'll find out sooner or later! Until then, if you could stay with us, that would be a good plan for both of us."
"Um? What do you mean?"
"Because of your strange powers, you represent a risk in the eyes of the world government! If they learn that you can turn into a giant, they will surely force you to work for them or kill you if you refuse! In short, either you will become an object, or you will get killed. "
"And instead, are you asking me to work under you?"
"I'm not offering you anything at all." Smoker retorted. "If you want to do it, it's up to you! But, anyway, if you decide to attack the Navy, I would have no choice but to stop you."
"After what I've been through, I don't want to declare war on anyone! In fact, I don't even know what I want to do."
Suddenly, coming in running, Tashigi rushed over to Smoker, asserting himself.
"Smoker! HQ has finally sent us what you asked for."
Seeing her holding an Eternal Pose, Smoker immediately grabbed it, and looked at the direction her needle was pointing.
"Perfect! Tell the navigator to change course."
"Yes ! "
"Where are we going ? " Reiner wanted to know.
"We're going in pursuit of Mugiwara!" Smoker announced. "And my gut tells me we can find him on the island where that needle is pointing."
"And what is this island called ? "
"Jaya!"
