While the leader was immersed in his thoughts, Temari said surprisingly;

"Stop putting that creepy smile on your face, can we go now?"

The leader put his hand on his head and said smiling;

“Sorry, sorry, did you take all the wanted pirate papers?”

Temari started to put the papers in her pockets and then answered in a calm tone;

"I took what we need,"

After this short dialogue, the leader and Temari went to the ship, and when they reached it, they heard Violet screaming on the deck saying;

"Huh! What do you mean by that! How you don't know the way out!"

Flora was laying the map on the wooden floor and trying to figure out the way out. But Violet's voice was so annoying, that's why she said angrily;

"How I can know the way out! Basically, there is no such island on the map. Something is wrong..."

"Don't you mean your map is wrong?"

"My maps are correct, I'm sure. Maybe..."

"Hey do you want me to trust 'maybe'?"

Their loud discussion was heard everywhere, then the leader laughed and said;

"Doesn't being with them make you very upset or angry?"

Temari started walking towards the plank and said as she walked;

"Their loud voice sometimes hurts my ears. But it kind of makes me feel like there are people around me."

Her words were vague and not easily understood, but the leader smiled and said;

"That sounds reassuring."

The leader and Temari go up to the deck, and when Violet sees Temari she goes over to her and said as if she was in trouble;

“Chef, our navigator seems to be useless, what should we do now?”

Her words made Flora angry sarcastically and then she said;

"Who is the useless here, weather girl..."

The leader walked towards Flora, then sat beside her and put his hand on her map, and this made her feel disturbed and said;

"Aren't you so close?"

The leader ignored her words, and said while looking at the map;

"This is a map that was drawn five or seven years ago, at most. That's why it has one mistake."

Flora marveled and said;

"You mean something has changed now? What's the thing that could make this map go wrong?"

The smile on the leader's face faded, and features of sadness and regret appeared on him, then he sighed, saying;

"Violet, Temari, and the Girl with the perverted Mind."

Flora's face turned red and she said;

"What do you mean by that!"

The leader ignored her words again and added to his speech;

“The main purpose of this crew’s trip is to find Wu. But Violet, do you know who Wu really is?”

Violet answered in a serious tone;

"She's supposed to be my grandmother"

The Chief smiled a smile full of regret, as if it were hiding many sad memories and said;

“Wu is a very young and beautiful woman, only 24 years old. This is something I am sure of, there is only one Wu in the world. But Violet, no matter how old she is, can you guess who Wu is? I mean, is she a good person or a bad person."

Violet answered without hesitation;

“My father and mother were good people, so I think Wu will be a good person.”

The leader put his hand on the wooden floor and said while trying to stand up;

"Well, you should know one thing. Wu will kill you immediately if she finds out that you are a pirate hunter. Her name is not known above ground, but it is known underground. I am not speaking literally, only those who live in the shadows will be able to tell that there is someone named Wu in this world."

Violet's eyes sparkled and she asked, puzzled;

“Ou-san! What are you trying to say exactly?”

“Wu is the leader of the Black Trade…”

Immediately after those words, the place was quiet, and the sound of swirling water could be heard. A look of shock appeared on Flora's face, her features were cold, and her eyes were frozen.

Violet was able to realize that this conversation affected Flora, so she tried to defend someone whose name she only knew;

“Hey old man! Wu is my grandmother, and she is not a young woman involved in such acts, I won’t_”

The leader interrupted her speech, saying:

"You can say I'm a liar, and you can say I'm honest. It doesn't matter what you do, because it won't change that fact. I just wanted to show you the way you're about to go. This isn't a game of hunting pirates. Wu is a very dangerous person. This is something I need to tell you before you leave"

At that time Flora was connecting the events in her mind and then she said in a faint voice;

"That's right..." Everyone in the deck looked at Flora, then she added; “If we look at things logically, Violet’s power is something that an ordinary person like me or Temari can’t have. But if it was someone like Wu, then she would be able to access this fruit because she is a professional in the black market. That’s how… All things became clear"

Violet clenched her fist and this was evidence of her extreme anger at that moment, then she said in a calm tone;

"Flora, who am I now?"

Temari and the leader didn't understand this question, but Flora was able to understand it. What Violet meant was;

Does Flora see her as a friend, or as someone who belongs to the Wu family.

The black trade is Flora's main enemy, so this was about to put an end to this friendship. But Flora slowly raised her head and said;

"What are you talking about?" Then she smiled and added; "You're Just a Violet, just a foolish and a strong girl."
