Chapter 34: Chapter 33 ~ The Devil Fruit’s weakness

"Violet has to defeat a pirate in the next four days. Then we have to head to the Marine headquarters in order to hand over the pirate and get the reward." Temari said while looking up at the clear blue sky.

Flora looked down and said in a hushed voice,

"So... I see."

Then Violet smiled and said, trying to cheer them up;

"What's wrong with these features? Fighting is inevitable. It's also me who chose this path and you didn't force me to choose it. Temari, Flora, you must believe in this; I'll be fine."

And so this small ship continued sailing and approaching the unknown island. But the map coordinates were not accurate. So Violet sighed and said;

"My back hurts, Flora! Didn't you say we'd be there in half an hour. How many half hours has passed and we haven't arrived yet?"

Flora was looking at the maps, then she said, confused;

"The coordinates are somewhat wrong. One of the maps says we should advance north, and the other says east. But the map I'm relying on now says we're above the island..."

"Above the land of the island? Hmm, No matter how much I try to look, I only see water around us." Temari said.

The situation was very complicated and Flora didn't know where to go, and at that moment, the wind started to shake their hair slightly to the right. And Violet said at that moment;

"Doesn't it seem to you that the ship is sailing backwards?"

Violet was the first one who noticed this, and this made Flora very shocked, and she said in a loud voice;

"That's right, but isn't that so bad?"

At first the ship was sailing backwards slowly, but soon the sea began to drag the ship backwards at a high speed.

Drops of water began to spread across the deck, and the sail was rubbing against the wind so much it was about to tear.

"Flora, The sail!" Violet said out loud.

Flora was slow to move on, but Temari moved quickly and gathered the sail, which made the ship speed up.

It turned out that the sea was pulling the ship into a giant whirlpool, and the ship was spinning in that whirlpool and at the same time going down. The whirlpool was gigantic and could not be fully seen with the naked eye, but in the middle there was a small island.

The first person to notice the island was Temari because she was upstairs gathering the sail, and then she said out loud from above;

"It's there, I can see It!"

The whirlpool was over a hundred meters long, and an island was located at the bottom. The ship continued its descent in a circular motion until it reached the bottom of the whirlpool. Below there is a distance of more than thirty meters of calm water, and this water is between the island and the whirlpool, and our little ship has finally reached that calm water. And at that moment, Violet sighed and said;

"It's finally over, is everyone okay?"

Temari answered calmly;

"it's normal"

Flora looked at Temari and said angrily; "What's normal about this?" Then she put her hand over her mouth to prevent herself from vomiting and said in a low voice; "I hate this".

Violet smiled and said as she looked at them;

"I see, that's reassuring."

After this, Violet raised her head to see this strange island, which was covered in black, so that the mountains, the earth, the rocks, and even the houses were black.

The thing that made Violet feel strange and said;

"Everything looks black here, is that normal?"

Violet looked at Temari, who raised her hands as evidence that she didn't know the answer, then looked at Flora who was dizzy because of the whirlpool, and Flora said while feeling nauseous;

"I see, every island in this world has characteristics that distinguish it from the others, so that might be natural. Anyway, Violet! remember our main goal, we shouldn't stay here too long."

Violet jumped up and put her feet on the ship's short wooden wall and said as she looked out at the island and the wind played with her hair;

"I know but..." She turned her head to Flora and added; "I feel curious".

The thing that made Flora raise her finger at Violet and said in an angry tone;

"Stop saying that with that romantic face! It's disgusting!"

The calm look on Violet's face turned into a look of anger, then she said;

"Wait! What do you mean with a disgusting face!"

And so the argument began between them again. At this time, Temari was touching her hair and said while Violet and Flora were having a discussion;

"I want to cut my hair"

Temari's ideas swim in a world other than the world in which Flora and Violet's ideas exist, but somehow, despite their differences, they were a crew in the process of growing, and they were approaching to harmony and understanding among themselves.

The ship shook a little, as if something had hit it, and when Violet looked down, she found that the vibration was caused by the ship hitting the island. That's why she said out loud;

"Flora, drop the anchor!"

"Okay!" Flora answered as she ran towards the left side of the ship.

Flora picked up the anchor and tried to throw it, but it was heavier than expected, so Flora and the anchor fell into the water.

Violet got worried and ran to Flora and jumped into the water. in order to save her.

*Drop!*

Violet opened her eyes underwater and was able to see Flora sink downward.

She wanted to move towards flora, but...

'What is this... Why can't I move my body?'

Violet's body sank in the same way as Flora's.
