Mushroom Island

William POV:

It's been ten days since we were at sea, the weather in the new world is more terrible than I imagined, the first day was quite calm and then all started to degenerate, a shower of hail, with hail-sized a man's head, then hurricanes, then a shower of thunder ... .., Even if it did not bother us, it was always annoying.

Hmm, William look!!!, says Koala

Hmm, and there an island appeared before me, a big island, but the most incredible thing was a kind of mountain in the middle of the island, a mountain looks like a big mushroom, it seems next to me, but in fact, it is twenty kilometers "12.5 miles" from me, I told Koala to set sail for this island, to nearly ten km, the weather changes, from rain and thunderstorms to summer sun, it did not really surprise me.

The further we went, the more I could see the immensity of the island, it was flat with a single mountain in the middle of it, it was large enough, and it had a tropical greenery, beautiful tall trees stood proudly, trying to look at the sun, flowers and roses of all colors, exotic fruits, swaying in their trees, waiting to be picked.

We arrive next to the island, its sides were made of sand, then entering we will see beautiful greenery.

We dock the ship, and we go down, since just now, we have not seen a human life, I do not know if there is no human life, or if they hide, but one thing is sure, this place is not normal.

I take some bags for food, and a box of first aid, and we go explore this huge island.

We could see a lot of trees, Annonas, apple trees, cherry trees....

There were also a lot of wild animals, but still no humans.

We've been in this island for a while, and still no sound, until I start to feel tremors, concentrating my Haki I could feel a human warmth, this heat was under my feet, it means that there is a human underground, but the heat was more than one kilometer underground.

I kicked, on the ground, and started digging, Koala was following behind me.

After ten minutes, I stopped digging, because I could feel that if, I dig again, I will fall into a void, I held my hands on both sides of the passage that I dig, and I gave one last kick, then a light appeared.

Looking good, I could see men between thirteen and forty years digging with picks, the ceiling was decorated with oil lamps, giving a bright orange color, I deduced that I fell into a mine.

I jumped out of the way, still behind me Koala, something looked strange, usually, when a person enters like this in any place in One Piece, he is directly considered as an enemy, but no man has had a reaction, as if he did not see us.

I touched the shoulder of one of the men, but no sign, he just kept digging and digging, like a robot, I turn him to see him, and there, a shock, he had eyes totally white as if he had no iris or cornea.

This place became more and more strange.

I asked Koala to check with me the other men, and all were the same, with white eyes, and a robot job, I took a knife and I hurt one of the men to check if they are totally humans, or if they are cyborgs, and in the end I did not find any mechanical gear in them.

I started walking in the mine to try to find a clue, and there a man seemed strange to me, even if he picked like the others, he had as a kind of resistance, as if he did not want to dig, as if it were against his will.

And there I thought, it may be that a user of the devil's fruit uses his ability to control these men.

The man looked like he was seventeen, he had big muscles, I asked the system if there is a devil fruit that has the ability to control humans, and if there is, he gives me a potion that removes the effects of this ability.

He told me that he had, and gave me a potion.

I took the young man, and I had to force him to drink the potion.

After drinking, the man "wake up" or rather his eyes have become normal.

He looked confused, then a kind of fear appeared in his eyes, he lowered his head and then he saw me and he said: Who are you?

Oh, I introduce myself, my name is William and here is Koala, and who are you?

My name is Drake, what are you doing here?

We are just passing, and you why you do this work without a state of mind, as if you are robots. Said William.

Ehhh it's a long story do you want to hear it. Drake answers.

William: Yes we're just waiting for that.
