While rowing, Ian was in a small boat he had just found. However, noticing that he was only going around in circles, the man had finally cried out in rage, before letting himself lie on the floor of his boat.
"Damn it! In the end, all this is useless, it is impossible to escape this damn haze."
Then, thinking back to the explosion he had created to shock the children and the small group of adults, he began to be afraid.
"If I ever see them again, I'm going to get killed."
Suddenly, the cry of a seagull was heard.
"Hmm ? " The man wondered, seeing the bird flying, in the middle of a blue sky. "It has been a long time since I saw such a blue sky."
Remaining silent for a few seconds, he suddenly straightened up.
" A BLUE SKY ? "
Looking around, he couldn't hide his surprise, noticing that he was currently out of the mist. To tell the truth, he could even see the town of Ruruka, right in front of him.
"Am I out of the mist ? "
Not understanding how such a miracle could have happened, the man finally laughed.
"I don't know how I did it, but I don't care ! The important thing is to have left this place ! Goodbye, you foolish kids."
Trying to get his Den den mushi to work, Coby finally said.
"It's no use ! I can't seem to get in touch with Helmep."
"They must have been stuck in another part of the Rainbow Mist. " Henzo declared." If you want my opinion, no technology will be able to allow us to contact them. "
"What are we going to do to save them ? " Pukau wanted to know.
"For now, I'll try to get you out of this haze first ! No question of putting you in further danger ! I'll go save the others afterwards. "
"But that's impossible. " Isoka retorted. " We're not even sure we can get out of here."
"I told you before that Wetton will do anything to come here to recover all the treasures in this area," the scientist assured. "But it is true that having been separated from the others has greatly complicated our situation! Especially since we no longer have our hostage."
"It's okay," Coby asserted. "If Wetton wants to fight us, I'll make sure to beat him! It's my job as a Navy soldier."
Eventually falling onto his butt, Rapanui asserted.
"I can not stand it anymore. "
"Me too," Lake declared, imitating him. "I have the impression that we have been walking for hours."
"So what?" Helmep asked him. "It is not by complaining that we will be able to leave this place ! Come on, get up."
"But we don't even know where we're going," Wetton's grandson retorted. "I feel like we are walking for nothing."
"If you're not happy, you can stay there." Jin asserted, continuing to walk. "Me, I continue."
Seeing him continue to walk with Helmep, Sakura saw Rapanui breathe a tired sigh, before starting to follow them. Staying behind, Lake had ended up lying down, turning the do to the small group.
"Lake-san?"
"Um ? " The man wondered, seeing Sakura next to him.
"We have to keep moving forward."
"What for ? We are walking aimlessly."
"Is that wrong. " Retorted the young girl. "We don't know if we are going in circles, or if we are moving forward out of the mist. But I do know one thing: if you stay here, I'm afraid I'll never see you again."
"So what ? " The man asked, shrugging his shoulders. "I'm sure you would be happy not to see me again."
"That's wrong." Sakura repeated. "If you were ever left to die here on your own, I would never forgive myself."
"Huh ? Why ? "
"Why are you asking me this question?" Sakura asked him. "Honestly, is there any real reason to be worried about people's lives? "
Reaching out her hand to Lake, the girl said.
"Lake-san, I just want you to be able to reunite with your family ! So please follow us."
Staring at her, Lake sighed wearily. Still, grabbed Sakura's hand, he started to get up. Seeing the scene, Jin declared.
"Sakura-chan is a really nice person."
"Yes ! And that's what makes his charm." Helmep asserted.
At that moment, as he was about to stand up, Lake felt Sakura's arm come loose.
" That ... ? "
Falling forward, he was surprised to find himself with Sakura's arm in his hand.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" He shouted, leaping back.
Staring at Sakura, then her arm he was still holding, he screamed.
"Your arm ... Your arm? I ripped it off ? It can't be ! What did I do ? "
She too, surprised by what had just happened, Sakura displayed a panicked face. Then, finally, trying to calm down, she declared.
"I… Don't worry, this is… normal."
"Normal ? How could having an arm rip off be normal ?"
In response, Sakura suddenly ran her hand over her face to remove some of her makeup. So, Lake was shocked to see his skin-colored truth.
"Your skin ... it's green."
"I'm a zombie," Sakura asserted, while awkwardly scratching the back of her head and trying to smile. "I'm sorry I kept it from you ! But I didn't mean to scare you and ..."
A punch stopped her. Even though she didn't feel the pain, Sakura fell to the ground and was so surprised that she didn't even try to get up. In front of her, fist still raised, Lake stared at the girl in disgust.
"Stay away from me, you monster."
"Lake-san…? " Sakura wondered, putting her hand on the cheek where she had hit.
"Eurk ..." The man cried, rubbing his hands together. "How could I have touched the body of a monster as hideous as you ? You are a zombie ? So what are you waiting for to return to your grave ? A monster like you has no place among humans. "
No sooner had he finished his sentence than he felt Jin hit his legs, causing him to fall backwards. Then, crushing him as he sat on his stomach, Helmep planted his sword in the ground two centimeters from the face of Lake, who began to moan in fear.
"Give me a reason not to kill you." The blond roared.
" What ... What's the matter with you, you idiots ? I didn't do anything !"
"Nothing done ? Are you kidding me? You just insulted our friend." Jin asserted.
"And that is unforgivable." Helmep asserted.
"What ? Unpardonable ? But she's a monster ! I'm only telling the truth."
Hitting him in the face, Helmep broke him a tooth.
"Motherfucker!" He roared, getting ready to hit him again.
"HELMEP, STOP !"
Startled, the man froze, before looking behind him. Having stood up, Sakura looked down. Then, finally, she showed a smile on her face, as she declared.
"It's nothing ! Nearly everything, he's right ! Even me, I know I'm just a monster. You don't need to hit him."
Looking at the young girl, her two friends quickly noticed that she forced herself to smile and, on the contrary, wanted to cry. Since she had been here, Sakura had strangely been quickly accepted by everyone who knew her secret. Lake had been the first person to describe her as a monster. And even though she knew it would happen at one point or another, Sakura was having a hard time being called a " monster ".
She now knew that normal people would never accept her as a normal person.
"Let's go ! " She asserted, resuming walking.
Seeing her do, Helmep stood up, growling. Then, grabbing Lake by his collar, he forced him to stand up, asserting himself.
"Once outside, I swear we'll resume our discussion."
Then, pushing Lake in front of him, he allowed Jin to kick him in the ass to make him move faster. Helmep and Jin certainly weren't the best friends in the world. However, they agreed on a point: It was forbidden for anyone to make Sakura cry by calling her a monster.
Not knowing what to say, Rapanui was suddenly blinded by light.
"Um?" The boy wondered, looking in the direction the light was coming from.
Then, not caring, he widened his eyes, noticing that there was a small opening in an area of the mist, through which the boy could see a blue sky.
"The way out ... The way out is there."
"What ? "
Seeing the strange tower that was at Ruruka Harbor lowering towards the Rainbow Mist, Wetton was smiling.
"Finally! After waiting fifty years, I will finally be able to obtain the treasures of this cursed place."
As soon as the huge tower fell into the water, its end lengthened like a telescope, and headed straight for the Rainbow Mist. almost at the exit, Helmep's group were surprised to see the end of the tower heading towards them, as she managed to slip through the mist.
"What…?" Helmep wondered, before being struck by the end of the tower. "
Diving into the water in time, Lake watched the tower pass in front of him and had no trouble recognizing it.
"The Rainbow Tower! Awesome! Grandpa came to save me!"
Immediately, as soon as the tower stopped moving, He began to climb on it.
"Perfect! With that, it will be easy to leave this cursed place! Nevertheless, if I leave without helping Grandpa to recover the treasures of this place, he will surely yell at me! Better that I stay there to help him . "
Getting ready to run towards the end of the tower, he suddenly noticed that he was all alone.
"Um ? Where are the others ?"
Seeing no one around him, he suddenly shrugged his shoulders.
"Tsss! Anyway, why would I care for them ! They are my enemies."
"Lake-san ! If I ever leave you here and you die here being all alone, I could never forgive myself."
Freezing for a few moments, thinking of Sakura's words, Lake finally shakes his head.
"Now is not the time to think about the words of that monster," he asserted, continuing to run.
Nonetheless, stepping on a piece of sheet metal that had been badly welded, Lake felt his foot pierce the wall of the tower and fell inside.
"OUCH!" He shouted, falling onto a huge treadmill. "Grandpa should complain to the workers! They botched the finishing touches."
"Lake?"
Turning around, the man saw his father and Wetton, and seemed surprised to see him.
"How did you get here? I thought you were taken hostage."
"I broke free." The man assured, getting to his feet.
Immediately the top of his head has hitted with a cane, as his grandfather roared.
"Have you been taken hostage by kids? What a shame! Go help others find the treasures of these places."
"Treasures? Yes! Grandpa, I have already started to search the place and I already know where a huge treasure is."
"Um? Is that true?"
Being hidden on a boat, Coby was observing the end of the Rainbow Tower which had come to rest not far from its hiding place.
"What is this?" He wanted to know.
"The Rainbow Tower!" Henzo explained to him. "This tower acts as a gateway that allows one to get from Ruruka to this mist and vice versa."
"But then we can use it to get home." Said Akibi.
"Yes! But there is a problem."
"What?"
Suddenly, the end of the tower opened to reveal that it had a passage through which dozens of motorized vehicles, capable of floating on water, rushed into the Rainbow Mist.
"Wetton's men!" Henzo recognized them. "If they ever spot us, they will surely try to kill us."
"In that case, let's keep a low profile," Coby ordered. "And let's try to wait for a moment when we can go inside this passage without being seen."
Obeying him, the children remained still and silent, despite seeing Wetton's men searching all the ships and stealing their treasures, to put them inside the tower.
However, eventually climbing onto their boat, a soldier eventually saw them.
"Hey! THERE ARE PEOPLE HERE!"
" SORU !"
Hitting him, Coby tried to silence him. Unfortunately, it was too late as other soldiers began to direct their motor vehicles towards them.
"Damn it! If only the others were here."
Suddenly, as other people tried to climb onto the boat, he saw the children grab hold of things and start hitting them.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"We're the pumpkin pirates." Rongo reminded him.
"So we will defend our territory until Rapanui returns."
"I'll help you." Henzo asserted, grabbing a sword. "I too am a member of the Pumpkin Pirates."
However, a lightning suddenly struck him, knocking him to the ground.
"HENZO-SAN ! " Coby scared.
Suddenly landing on their ship, a man sheltered inside strange armor laughed.
"Glad to see me again?"
"Lake?" Coby wondered. "Where are Helmep and the others?"
"What do I know ?" The man asked, shrugging his shoulders. "It's not like we're friends anyway! And now that I've got rid of them, it's just you left to fight. DRAGON DYNAMO !"
Using SORU again to avoid getting hit, Coby landed behind Lake, who laughed.
"Against my armor, you don't stand a chance! So give up!"
"As if I was going to surrender without a fight."
Suddenly greedy, Wetton plunged his hands into a huge chest full of jewels.
"They are mine! All these treasures are finally mine."
"Father! There are even more treasures than we thought." Affirmed Philip, who was listing all their finds. "With all this, we will have more money than all the wealth of a country."
"HAHAHAHA! Perfect! We must continue like this."
"Captain ! "
Suddenly running towards Wetton, a soldier arrived with a small chest in his arms.
"What? Who's he got?"
"We ... We have been tasked to go find the treasure Mr. Lake has located ! And look at what we have found too."
Opening the small chest, he showed Wetton what looked like a large golden cherry.
"Fruit ?" Wetton wondered. "Wait, would that be devil fruit ?"
"It looks like it."
"Great !" Philip rejoices. "It's so rare that people would be willing to pay 100 million berries to get it."
Smiling upon hearing this, Wetton grabbed the fruit and examined it.
"Perfect ! With this fruit, I will enrich myself even more."
However, he stopped smiling the instant he saw a bite mark in the fruit. Someone had already taken a bite of it.
"What ...? It was eaten? Who is the idiot who did that?"
"No one, captain ! " The soldier swore. "As soon as I found this fruit, I immediately ran to bring it to you."
"So, maybe it's one of the kids that lives here." Philip noted.
"Those rascals ..." Wetton roared. "Yet another reason to kill them."
Running behind, while putting on his incendiary armor, he screamed.
"I'm going to slaughter them."
However, no sooner did he get outside than he saw most of his soldiers being beaten by hundreds of men.
"What ...?"
Around him he seemed to see hundreds of enemies that were identical. They were all Jin. Using his Quirk, the man was fighting all of Wetton's men.
"What does it mean?"
"You are Wetton, I presume."
Turning around, the former pirate was surprised to see Helmep, Sakura and Rapanui. Staring at the old man, Rapanui clenched his fist.
"Wetton!"
"What are you doing here? I never gave you permission to get on my tower ! For the trouble, you'll pay me a tax."
"Do you really think I'm going to listen to a pirate's orders ? " Helmep questioned. "If I am here, it is to capture you."
"Capture me ? Are you stupid ? I'm the mayor of Ruruka."
"So what ? Doesn't that erase any crimes you've committed in the past? So be reasonable and put your hands on your head! Otherwise, I would be remiss if I had to hit an elderly person."
"SHUT UP !" Wetton roared, before creating a jet of flame.
Dodging it in time, Helmep leapt into the air, before drawing out his sabers.
"You will have wanted it," he asserted, slamming Wetton's armor.
Nonetheless, he was surprised to see his sabers shatter, as they struck Wetton's thick armor.
"What ? "
"HAHAHA! Poor fool! This armor is invincible."
Then he gave Helmep a powerful punch, causing him to fly through the air until he fell into the water.
"HELMEP ! " Sakura scared.
"Well done for him," asserted the former pirate.
"WETTON !" Rapanui roared, running towards him.
Having picked up an iron bar, the boy used it to strike the man's leg, which was not protected by his armor. Screaming in pain, Wetton cried out a curse, before aiming his flamethrower at the boy.
"You're going to regret this, kid."
Seeing the flames, Rapanui threw himself aside to avoid them. However, losing his balance, he quickly fell into the water. Seeing this, Wetton then stared at Sakura who was the only person left. Noticing this too, the young girl quickly grabbed her sword, which she positioned in front of her.
"I won't let you pass."
Seeing her do it, Wetton laughed.
"What is a coward like you hoping to do? Stop me? Stop mistaking your desires for reality! I don't have time to take care of you anyway."
Seeing Jin's clones still fighting his men, he declared.
"I'm going to beat up those goddamn masked men and then I would go find the children of this place and ask them who is the one who ate my precious devil fruit! Somehow I would get him. Spit out."
"Devil Fruit? You mean the one that looked like a huge cherry?"
"What ? " Wetton wondered, turning to Sakura.
"If you're looking for the person who took a bite of it, you've got it in front of you."
