Mushroom Island 2

Drake: Ehh, as I told you my name is Drake, and I come from a village in this island, the island is called mushroom because of the mountain in the middle of it, my village is at the top of the mountain, I lived peacefully with all the other villagers, we had our own habits, we were happy, alive, joyful, until the day when a man appeared and broke this peaceful village.

Our Village was called, the Palmatus Village, we named it that way, because we believe in the god Palmatus, he is our god, when we give sacrifices to Palmatus, we win more harvests, more babies are born, people become healthy ....

We had the status of Palmatus, in the middle of the village, but when this man appeared, the first thing he did was to destroy the statue, and spread the wrath of the god, the villagers thought that if we kill him the god will forgive us, and will not defeat his anger.

But the man was strong, very strong, and he was angry when the villagers tried to kill him, he proclaimed himself one of the seven Kakusareta, and told us to worship him or to be killed.

People did not want to venerate him, so he used divine power, and made us like puppets, we could only work in mines, and extract the ore he wanted, he was very careful, afraid of escaping his control, he took our wives, our children and our parents, he said that if we worked for him for ten years he will give back our freedoms, and now it's been three years since we are here, he comes every month to check if people are missing, and when he thinks we are all here he goes away.

William: Hmm, what can you tell me more about this man, where he lives now? And when was the last time he came to see you?

Drake: Like every villager, I've seen him, his hair is white and long, his eyes are always covered by big glasses, he's quite tall, with medium muscles, he's pretty paranoid, I think he lives in the village, as I told you, he is cautious, and I could feel his presence when he came thanks to my will, the last time I felt it coming, it was about ten days ago, I think in twenty days, he will come back to inspect us.

William: hmm, what do you think Koala?

Koala: According to his description, this man is quite cautious, and he can be wary of any abnormal gesture, and then there is also this strange name Kakusareta, do you know what means, Drake?

Drake: No, all he said is that he's one of the seven Kakusareta; I do not know what that means.

Koala: So, what do you predict William?

William: why don't we go visit this dear Kakusareta....

Drake: Are you sure? He is strong enough, you risk not returning alive.

Koala: don't worry about us.

Drake: Okay, as you'll go, I'll come with you.

William: Do what you want, let's go now.

We started walking towards the mountain, arriving I called the winds, and we went up to the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain is flat, and above it is built a village that can shelter a thousand people.

On landing, we could see women and children dancing around a big fire, in front of them, a big throne sat on a man in his thirties, he carried with one hand a big Japanese fan, his other hand was holding a cup of coffee, he look at women and children with a big smile, he look like the man described by Drake.

Then the man looked away and saw us, then said with a shock in his voice: who are you? What are you doing in my territory?

Your territory, you detained our women and our children, and you forced us to work in the mine like robots, you controlled us, and now you say that it is your territory!!!! Drake said with rage.

Um, you're one of those inmates, how did you get out of my control!!! Said the man, as if he did not believe what he had just heard.

William: Sir, stop sir from arguing, why not talk across a table.

Um, who are you? I don't know you. Said the man.

Hmm, forgive my manners, I introduce myself, my name is William.

I am Koala.

We are adventurers, we travel to see the mysteries of this world, and you, who are you? Said William.

Hmm, I'm Carlos one of seven Kakusareta, said the man or rather Carlos.

Oh, what are these Kakusareta? Said William

Why I should answer you, said Carlos.

I released my Haki, which made Carlos kneel, and then I said: that's enough for you as an answer

Ehhh, "what is this pressure, he's as strong as they are", well, I'll tell you what the Kakusareta are. Answered Carlos.
