I’ll pay back “his” investment and more soon enough. I am not under anybody’s payroll, this is something I have done for myself. Kazuko, underworld Broker and scientist, glanced around his room, clenching his fist as he tried his best to contain his fury. You’ve already used too much of “ his” resources, have you not?” I’d also suggest to not try and reach to far too quickly. And with this little endeavor of yours? Another one won’t make a difference. “You wasted the two “ clones” I gave you. Sigh.” There was an absolute silence for a few seconds. But sadly, you have nothing else to offer me for the next payment. Somewhere in the world, the voice who spoke from the other side of the call sat comfortably outside, in the middle of the night, glancing upon nothing but the moonless night. “I have fulfilled my side of the payment every time!” “What? What do you mean you won’t offer your services?” A tall, black-haired man paced around the room, with Den-Den Mushi in hand. A ghastly mist made it all the more tenebrous, which permeated the island and even crept into the inside of the building. Screen panels surrounded him, alongside several mysterious silhouettes that stood guard. Inside an underground building on a lone island, a certain person stood inside a control room. Their crushed wills become prey to shadowy voices that sing words of temptation, that ultimately lead to an irreversible fate. Yet there are some with an even stranger fate.The promise of something they longed for, exchange for what made them human in the first place. Some have it worse, they become forced to be subservient to others, or even imprisoned. For these, they’re lucky to escape with their lives and settle on living a normal life. Fame, fortune, adventure, power.For one reason or another, they all desired the same things.īut for many, thousands in fact, these dreams are abruptly crushed before they even have the chance to glance at what could’ve been. Indeed! It was a festival like no other, and the topic of celebration? None other than the infamous Rookie Pirates that are traveling to fulfill their desires. A simple invitation, to a simple festival, on a lone island. Yet it required very little effort for that to happen. With the crazy rookies plaguing Paradise, and the driven Marines chasing after them, it would truly be the Devil’s work to attempt and throw fuel to the fire. The seeds of chaos had already been placed, it was only a matter of time, until an event that would stir the tumultuous seas would emerge. It was a stormy night in Paradise, both literally and figuratively. I can offer you strength beyond your wildest desires.
