" A sect ? "
Now sitting at the same table as the Navy soldiers, the young woman they had just saved could only nod. Calling herself Dyra, she raised her gaze, before explaining.
"In this town there is a community that are united in a huge mansion! Generally, people have little reason to complain about this group of people but...strange things are happening there."
"What do you mean?" Coby asked. "Are you sure this community is a cult?"
"It's hard to say." Dyra admitted. "Like I said, this community doesn't do anything bad towards the other residents of this town but their organization is quite scary! First of all, only women are accepted in this community."
"And I'm guessing it's a man who runs this community," Helmeppo said.
"Not at all." Dyra retorted. "Lady Katarina and Lady Rika are two women with great fortune who are at the origin of the creation of this community! Initially, these two sisters had done nothing other than bring together a few women to work on their plantations roses! These people were ordinary working women! But then these sisters offered them a place to live inside their mansion! And as more women came, they created a community."
Tilting his head to the side, Jin noticed.
"I understand what you're saying but... this has nothing to do with a sect! These two sisters just offered a group of people to live in their home and work for them."
"That's what I thought at first." Dyra confessed. "to tell the truth, my best friend, Aslo, started working for these sisters two months ago! At first, I was happy for her because both sisters have a very good reputation! But, quickly, her behavior changed. quickly changed! At first, I could come see her to make sure she was okay! But quickly, she became more and more cold and Aslo didn't even want to leave the mansion, even for a simple walk ! And then she refused to see me."
Looking sad, she explained.
"She suddenly declared that I was a bad influence on her and she no longer wanted to speak to anyone who was not part of her new community! And the other women in the mansion stopped me from coming back to see her! By insisting, "I stayed outside the mansion for several days to spy on them and find a way to talk to Aslo! And that's when I discovered something strange."
Digging through her clothes, she pulled out a den-den muchi.
"While I was spying on them, I noticed that no one was leaving the manor! Every week, a few carts entered the manor, to deliver supplies or collect the stocks of roses, which the sisters of the manor put up for sale! With These roses, they make many perfumes recognized throughout the world! This is how they earn a big fortune! What scares me is that none of their employees ever leaves the mansion and the guards refuse to let even the slightest person come and visit them! The employees' families no longer have the slightest contact with them."
"I see." Sakura said. " It is not normal. "
"But nothing requires us to intervene." Nakata remarked. "What I mean is, when you saw your friend, did you feel like she was forced to forbid you from coming to see her?"
"No, but... it's not normal that all the employees refuse to see their families! Several people are worried about them and nothing explains the fact that they decide to stay in the mansion all the time."
"She's right." Coby agreed. "That's strange! Have Lady Katarina and Lady Rika ever been suspected of doing anything strange?"
"No! Never! Besides, that's why a large part of the inhabitants of this island refuse to believe what I say! But I am certain of my hypotheses! To prove it, I wanted to enter the inside the mansion, but I was spotted right away! That's why I ran away and was chased here."
Looking at her, the five young soldiers turned to their two superiors, knowing that they were the only ones who would make the final decision. Knowing this, Emma affirmed.
"If other vice-admirals were with us, they would certainly find it ridiculous to be interested in this! However, I am not against carrying out a little investigation! What about you, Grandpa?"
Turning to Garp, the soldiers couldn't help but fall from their chairs, seeing the old man snoring, while a bubble was visible at his nostril.
"Is this a joke?"
" He fell asleep ? "
"Is he narcoleptic or something?"
Seeing this, Emma let out a sigh, before saying.
"Grandpa, I want to become a pirate."
Immediately, the bubble in Garp's nostril burst and the old man woke up.
" Wh ... What ? WHAAAAT ? Pirate ? "
Seeing him awake, Emma questioned him.
" What do we have to do ? "
Due to having fallen asleep at the start of Dyra's explanations, the vice-admiral was unaware of the situation. Finally stretching, Luffy's grandfather declared.
"There's no rush for us to get to Water-7! So if you want to do an investigation or something, I'll give you permission."
Yawning then, he left his chair, before affirming.
"If anyone was looking for me, I would be on the boat, breaking my record for the most donuts eaten."
Then he left, leaving Coby and the others to decide what they were going to do.
Constantly trying to keep her face shy, Nakata nonetheless felt angry, while Emme finally came up with a plan. Because of this, the young nurse of the team was in front of the gate of a huge mansion, along with Sakura.
Having removed their Navy uniforms, the two girls were dressed in civilian clothes and waiting for someone to come greet them.
"Why are we here?" She whispered.
"If we had come as soldiers, the owners of this place might use their influence to refuse to cooperate with us." Sakura stated. "After all, since they're not doing anything wrong, the Navy has no reason to be here! To be able to conduct a discreet investigation, we have to dress like this! And since Emma-san is a vice-Admiral, she will be recognized in an instant."
Wanting to growl, Nakata cursed her situation. She had no desire to be here, with Sakura. What she wanted was to be with Coby. Thinking of the boy, the young nurse began to bite her thumb, as she feared that the young soldier would attract the attention of every woman on this island.
" Coby... all the sluts on this island are going to want to bewitch him! But he's MY Coby! No one has the right to touch him except me! I refuse to leave him alone! I have to be there to protect him and kill every bitch who dares come near him. "
"Huh...are you feeling okay?" Sakura questioned, noticing that she seemed frustrated.
Managing to wipe away any trace of hatred on her face, Nakata scratched the back of her head awkwardly.
"It...It's nothing! It's just that it's my first mission as a spy! Usually, I'm just a nurse! I'm a little stressed."
"I understand you." Sakura affirmed. "I was stressed on my first mission too! But Coby and Helmeppo were always there to support me! And now that you and Jin are with us, I have no reason to be afraid."
Taking Nakata's hands, she declared.
"It's great to be part of a real team, isn't it?"
Immediately, Nakata had to hold back a murderous urge, as she felt Sakura's hands touch her. Nakata hated her. Since joining the small group, she had seen Sakura talking and smiling to Coby. For her, Sakura was a rival. She was a person who had to die for daring to get close to her Coby.
Nakata wanted to kill her, but she wasn't stupid. She knew she had to wait for the right moment to slit his throat and then make his death look like an accident.
Suddenly the gate started to creak and the two girls saw it open. Advancing towards the duo, a woman introduced herself, while fixing them with a stern look. Recognizing her wooden armor and the sword at her belt, Sakura noticed that it was one of the women who had been chasing Dyra.
"What do you want?" She asked.
"Huh...I..." Sakura said, feeling a little scared by her look.
"Excuse us but...we are looking for a job." Nakata stated. "And we have learned that the two ladies living in this mansion will be looking for employees to work on their rose plantations."
Continuing to stare at them, the samurai narrowed her gaze before approaching her.
"You are not inhabitants of this island, are you?"
And before Sakura could respond, the samurai's face was in front of hers.
"Still, I feel like I've seen you before."
Increasingly frightened, Sakura had great difficulty maintaining her calm. However, a noise was heard. Clapping her hands twice, a woman caught the trio's attention as she walked towards them.
Tall and blonde, the newcomer displayed a tender smile as she declared.
"Zixa...I already told you to stop scaring people who want to work here! You'll scare away all our potential recruits."
"Sorry, Lady Katarina." Zixa apologized, turning to face her. "Since that damn spy keeps trying to infiltrate your mansion, I've had a hard time trusting people from the outside! I'm sure she'll eventually send someone to spy on us. "
"So what?" Lady Katarina asked. "Just like me, you know perfectly well that we don't do anything unequal here! So, even if spies came here, we have nothing to fear."
Then, turning to the newcomers, she asked.
"Did you come to work here?"
" Huh ... yes. "
"Glad to hear it! Let me introduce myself, I'm Lady Katarina! One of the owners of these places! I would be delighted to welcome you among us! Our plantations are so big that we never have enough employees to to take care of. "
Then turning around, she motioned for them to follow her.
"If you'll follow me! We can talk while I show you around."
Hearing this, Nakata followed her. Imitating her, Sakura couldn't help but stare at Zixa in fear, before rushing to get away from her. Seeing her, Katarina started to laugh.
"Zixa scares you? Don't be afraid! She's just overprotective and narrow-minded! But once you work with us, you'll be happy to see her protect you at every opportunity."
" Huh ... okay. "
Suddenly, Sakura stopped, as she smelled a scent. being pleasant and sweet, the smell seemed to bewitch her, while the zombie directed her face towards a huge greenhouse that was in the huge garden of the mansion.
"Do you like the smell? It comes from our rose plantations! It's Rosatus Emperios! One of the rarest flowers in the world! My sister and I even own the only specimens in this world."
"Rosatus Emperios?"
"It's a rose that releases an incredible fragrance! It's thanks to these flowers that the perfumes we sell are so popular! No one can resist them."
Having, in fact, her brain a little foggy, Sakura had difficulty maintaining her concentration. Wanting to forget her mission, she suddenly wanted to go to the greenhouses and smell the good smell of the flowers.
Seeing this, Katarina reached into her pockets and took out two medical masks.
"Put that in front of your nose," she advised. "When you're not used to it, the smell emanating from so many flowers can make you lose your mind! But if you work with us, the effects should wear off within a few days."
"Thank you." Sakura said, taking her mask.
Imitating her, Nakata managed to maintain a stoic look. Having initially been captivated by the scent, the young nurse had found her own antidote to deal with it.
" Coby ! Coby ! Coby ! Coby ! Coby ! Coby ! Coby ! Coby ! "
Now being slightly protected by the effects of the plants' scent, Sakura was able to look out at the garden and see several women working there, as they went into the greenhouses, or came out with baskets full of roses.
"Here, we take care of the production and harvest of our roses! And three times a week, associates come here by cart to collect our harvests and go to a company located on another island so that the roses are transformed into scent. "
" I see ... "
But focusing more on the employees, Sakura asked.
"Why are there only women here?"
"My sister hates men." Katarina admitted to her. "She was raped when she was young and since then she has become agoraphobic! She refuses to leave the mansion or see a single man! In truth, it was for her that I suggested that our employees stay at the within our mansion! I wanted Rika to be able to continue talking with people instead of living a lonely life where she would end up being consumed by fear and anxiety."
Hearing this, Sakura couldn't hide her surprise. And finally, she felt a little stupid for coming here. In a few minutes, Katarina seemed to have made her doubts about this place disappear.
For his part, Nakata barely focused on the conversation and only thought about leaving quickly to find Coby.
Yawning, Helmeppo complained.
"So, ultimately, it's the girls who do the work and we are forced to sit around doing nothing."
Still sitting on the terrace, he was with Coby and Jin, while Emma had offered to take Dyra home.
"There's not much we can do." Jin retorted. "Only women are tolerated there! Besides, the place doesn't seem very dangerous to me! If these women are just being manipulated, I don't think Sakura and Nakata will be stupid enough to fall for it."
"Maybe, but I can't help but be afraid for them." Coby admitted.
Hearing this, Helmeppo began to show a mocking smile.
"Are you afraid for Sakura…or for Nakata?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I just want to talk about your relationship with our group nurse."
Immediately starting to blush, Coby looked away.
"I don't know what you mean."
"Hahahaha! There's nothing to be ashamed of." The blond assured him.
"Nakata is a beautiful and kind girl." Jin affirmed. "However, she doesn't have Sakura's charm."
"Huh?" Helmeppo roared. "Why are you talking about my Sakura?"
"Your Sakura?" Jin growled. "My ass! There's no way she's interested in you."
"Do you have a problem, Mask-guy?" Helmeppo roared.
" THIEF ! "
Surprised, the trio turned their heads in the same direction and saw a small figure running down the street, while carrying a box filled with apples.
"Larvi! Larvi! Larvitar!" Said the small figure, trying to run at full speed despite his small legs.
"What is this?" Jin asked.
"It looks like a little animal." Coby remarked.
Seeing Larvitar, a few people around the trio recognized him.
" Again him ? "
"It's this little thief who keeps targeting merchants."
"He never stops his misdeeds."
Suddenly, an obese man appeared in front of the pokemon, to prevent him from fleeing.
"You won't go any further! Give me back my merchandise."
Nevertheless, displaying a simple mocking smile, Larvitar spun like a top, while creating a sandstorm.
Larvitar use SANDSTORM.
Surprised, the man was struck by the attack, which threw him backwards several meters.
"What?" Coby and the others were surprised.
"Don't go near him." Someone ordered.
"Despite its small size, it is very powerful."
Seeing no one else trying to stop him, Larvitar continued to show a mocking smile and began to flee again. However, he was surprised when he saw another person positioning himself in front of him.
"Hey, you just committed a robbery." Coby stated. "Even if you are an animal, I am obliged to ask you to give me back what you just stole."
Staring at him at first, Larvinar eventually backed away in fear. Then, to Coby's astonishment, he placed the fruit box on the ground, before starting to cry. Opening and closing his eyelids several times, Coby didn't know how to react to this.
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"I feel like I'm seeing a baby." Helmeppo remarked, approaching the pokemon.
However, as soon as the blond was in front of him, Larvitar stopped sobbing and started smiling again.
Larvitar use TACKLE.
Using the top of his head, the pokemon launched himself towards the blond and hitted him in the abdomen. Feeling like his eyes were popping out of their sockets, Helmeppo gasped as he collapsed onto his back.
"Larvitar!" The pokemon rejoiced, seeing him fall to the ground.
However, reacting almost immediately, Jin rushed towards the pokemon, while letting several clones appear.
"It looks like we're dealing with a real rascal! But we're going to stop him."
Seeing the clones running towards him, the pokemon decided to imitate him.
Larvitar use DOUBLE TEAM.
Immediately, around twenty Larvitars appeared and each of them was hit by a clone of Jin. Seeing the mirages disappear upon touch, the real Jin was surprised to see all the Larvitars disappear.
"What?" He wondered, looking around him.
" Larvitar. "
Raising his face, Jin saw the real Larvitar, which had jumped high into the sky. Staring at Jin and his clones, he recreated a sandstorm.
Larvitar use SANDSTORM.
Unable to escape, Jin and his clones were hit by the sandstorm, which caused some clones to disappear. Not having finished, the pokemon inhaled a large quantity of air, before producing a deafening cry.
Larvitar use SCREECH.
Hindered by the sandstorm, Jin was surprised to feel sonic vibrations hitting him. Feeling like his eardrums were exploding, he let out a cry of pain, while the rest of his clones disappeared. Taking advantage of this, while his sandstorm ended, Larvitar let himself fall back.
Larvitar use POUND.
Using his crest, the pokemon hit the top of Jin's head with force. Stunned, the man remained motionless for a few seconds before collapsing to the ground. Seeing this, Larvitar landed on his feet, before shouting with joy, happy with his victory.
" Larvi ! Larvi ! Larvi ! "
" SORU ! "
Barely reacting, the pokemon felt a kick hit him, making him fall backwards. Landing on his back, the pokemon then rolled several times before being able to stop.
"I'm going to make you stop your misdeeds." Coby assured.
Getting back to his feet, Larvitar then rushed towards him.
Larvitar use TACKLE.
" SORU ! "
Faster than the pokemon, Coby dodged his attack, before finding himself behind him to hit him with his elbow. Unfortunately, he only happened to hit a mirage, which immediately disappeared.
" What ? "
Larvitar use DOUBLE TEAM.
And being behind Coby, the real Larvitar targeted him.
Larvitar use SMACK DOWN.
Creating an energy sphere in front of him, the pokemon ejected it towards Coby who was hit. Then feeling the power of an explosion, the boy's body flew backwards. Getting up, Helmeppo and Jin screamed in fear as they saw their friend's body flying towards them before being hit.
Eventually, Larvitar saw the defeated trio remaining on the ground. And since no one else wanted to stop him, he took his fruits again, before running away.
Noticing this, Jin asked.
"Am I hallucinating or did we get beaten by a dwarf?"
In response, Helmeppo affirmed.
"If Garp learns of this defeat, we are dead."
However, while the duo remained down, Coby struggled to get up, before running after Larvitar.
" Coby ? "
"I'm not going to let myself be made a fool of." The boy affirmed.
Having seen Larvitar disappear into an alley, the boy imitated him. But when he found himself in a dark place, the boy could no longer see Larvitar.
"Hey! Where are you hiding?"
Hearing no response, Coby was forced to advance further, at the risk of being attacked. Finally, hearing noises, the boy rushed to the end of the alley, where he saw silhouettes.
"I found you." He affirmed, ready for battle.
However, he was surprised, seeing a group of teenagers, who were just as surprised as he was to see him suddenly appear in the alley.
"Huh?" A young girl was surprised.
"Who are you?" A boy asked him.
Feeling embarrassed, Coby apologized.
"Huh? Sorry to bother you! I was just looking for..."
Suddenly he fell silent, as he saw another teenager who was on the ground, while his face was covered in bruises. Apparently, he looked like he had just been beaten.
"Hey! What's going on here?"
