Committed to a promise ...

Chapter 3: Pearl Chaos !!!

After a hard night in which Arlong had barely lost an eye, his mood was correspondingly bad.
With one look that could have cut the ice, he got up and grumbled towards the kitchen.

Okta and Nemo were already up, and the smell of fresh coffee and delicious pastries was in the air.
Okta is a gifted baker and cook at the same time ... His pies are not to be despised either :)

"Good morning Arlong! Would you like something to eat? Just finished!

"Hmphff ... no thanks, I don't feel like eating ... The last night was horrible ... I couldn't sleep. And the glow of that stupid pearl didn't make it any better either."

"Should I keep the pearl in my room until we set sail?"

"Yes, you take it Okta. Maybe then I can sleep through the night again ... (yawn)"

Right after breakfast, Okta took the pearl.He polished the valuable piece thoroughly and saw its reflection blurred in the eddies.

"You're a very special piece ... I don't even know what Arlong has against you ... Hmm, maybe because of the legend? What do you think?"

Knowing that the pearl wouldn't answer him, he put it on the floor and wanted to leave.
Suddenly he heard a voice, it came from the direction of the pearl.

"What I think about it, do you want to know, Okta? That's a good question ... One reason your boyfriend doesn't like me is that my powers have changed his uncle. In fact, I am able to customize someone's personality Forming ideas ... thanks to a devil's fruit ... "

"Oops? How is that possible ... you speak ???"

"Do you want to know the name of the devil's fruit that is capable of this?"

"Since when can objects eat the devil's fruit?"

"It doesn't matter ... just listen to me ..."

....Sorry that the chapter is so short, but I need some good ideas first, until then ...
