Chapter 61 - Robin 4

The central district was a sight to behold. The roads were wide and exquisitely paved with a myriad of colorful stones. The buildings stood tall and proud, stretching well above the heights of the inner walls. Many of them were dressed in neon signs and advertisement, informing the onlookers of their purposes. Unlike the western district, the streets were relatively empty of activity. There were still hundreds of people walking about, but far from the packed mayhem they came from. It was noticeable that the occupants of the streets had a much wealthier background. There weren't many who wore the same "plain" outfits as the trio. You could make the assumption that this district was for the nobility and the nobility alone. No matter where you looked, you had individuals dressed in elaborate dresses and elegant suits. Their faces were often covered in masks and their heads were adorned with extravagant headwear. As the group ventured further into the district, the scenery became dimmer and dimmer, discernably redder.

"So this is the red mist we saw as we approached the island. I had no idea it stretched all the way down to the streets. The walls obscure everything besides the tallest of buildings." Robin said.

"I think it's creepy…" Nami pointed out.

"Maybe it sucks the blood out of the people who come in contact with it? Draining them until nothing but a dry husk remains."

"Don't say such scary things, Robin!"

"Hahaha."

"It's the result of the of the island's most precious commodity. Ruby's Kiss. What you see is the just one of the three variants." Lora explains.

"Ruby's Kiss?" Robin asks.

"Yes. It's what I and many other workers were producing in the old factory district. I'll give you a more detailed explanation, but I need to show you something first."

The two of them followed Lora onto a smaller road leading away from the main street. Lora explained that the area they were in is a so called "red light district". There were several of these all over the central district and they are the main "attraction" of the island. They are a hotspot for tourists. The group came to a halt in front of the window of one of the many brothels that littered the street. What they saw shocked them quite a bit. In the window stood several men and females, furiously fucking and masturbating as if nothing else mattered in the world. The sounds of sex, grunting, moaning and screaming filled their ears as the orgy unfolded before them. It was an obscene display of raw, sexual desperation. It was if they were possessed. They just kept going and going, regardless how many times they came.

"This is what the drug does to those who overdose, or become addicted to it."

"Oh my god…" Nami gasped at the display in front of her.

"The people you see have lost their minds completely. They were most likely former employees of this brothel, but made the mistake of using too much of the drug, or being forced to. Now their only purpose in life is fucking and serving as advertisement."

"They just keep going and going. How is that possible?" Robin asked.

"Ruby's Kiss is a very potent aphrodisiac and, depending on the method of consumption, will have a variety of different effects on the body. The mist you see is from burning the herb itself and is the mildest form of the drug. You can have it fill a room to set the mood, or you can smoke it directly for a moderately strong, arousing high. You can also grind it down and… snort it directly, which increases the effect dramatically. Lastly, you can extract the sap from the root of a certain tree and refine it into gelatinous ball. You can consume the ball as is, or you can melt it slightly and apply it in on various erogenous zones. Regardless of how you do it, the goo will give you extraordinary stamina and performance in bed, whilst getting you high as a kite. If applied directly on male genitalia, the testicles, the amount of ejaculate that is produced is increased by almost a 1000%. It's a very interesting side effect, both good and bad. Depending on whom you ask of course."

"…" Nami just stood there, absorbed in the fucking frenzy.

"That's a very descriptive explanation." Robin said, noticing something odd about Lora.

"Oh? Well I did work with the stuff, so it's only natural that I know about it, right?" Lora replied.

"Right. But why is it called Ruby's Kiss?" Robin asked.

"Well, it's actually just a nickname. But it supposedly it got its name from a prostitute using it as lipstick which she then used to kiss a client's penis or vagina with. I guess it was funny way to apply the drug!" Lora explained, giving of a wide grin.

"I see. Are you okay, Nami?

"W-what?"

"Are you okay?"

"Yes! I mean, yeah, I'm fine. I just…" Nami started blushing.

"Enjoying the show?"

"Yes. I mean NO! It's just horrible what these people have to go through, but I've never seen someone cum so much. It kind of makes you wonder how it feels." Nami said, giving her honest opinion. Robin looked at her blushing lover and gave her a comforting smile.

"I'm sure I can help you find an answer for that question later, but maybe not through the use of drugs." Robin said with a grin.

"Haha, that's rich coming from someone who frequently eats penis-growing balls!" Nami laughed.

"Touché."

Suddenly a thump came from the window in front of them. One of the prostitutes had slammed her tits and her face against the glass as she was being mercilessly fucked from behind. Her face was twisted from pure ecstasy and her eyes had rolled back from all the orgasms. The three of them just stood and watched as the women received as much cock as humanly possible. Thinking back to what Nami said, Robin became increasingly aroused from the erotic performance in front of her, how would it actually feel? Afraid that she would start to enjoy such vile practice, Robin suggested that they should leave and continue with their journey. As they left, Robin kept glancing back at the window with uncertain thoughts.

The trio made their way back on to the main road, walking towards the center of the district. The streetlights had been turned on during their absence. It came as no surprise however; it was getting dark after all. Despite the event they had just been through, the city itself was very pleasant to the eye. The colorful stones that paved their path had reflective properties and thus gave the girls a shimmering display as they walked. After a while, Robin started to feel lightheaded from all the lights and mist surrounding them. It was a very pleasant feeling however; it made her feel warm and fuzzy. It reminded her of alcohol.

She glanced over at Nami and noticed that the mist was getting to her as well. Her movements seemed sluggish and the expression of her face made her look like as if she had just woken up from a wonderful dream. Lora, on the other hand, seemed perfectly fine, but something was off with her. She seemed very determined and serious. Robin didn't spend much time thinking on it, she had her own problems to worry about. Her mind started to drift away and images of sex filled her head. Her cheeks turned bright red as she grew hotter and hotter for each passing minute. Robin became slightly alarmed at the sheer potency of the mist and tried her best to keep her cool.

As the group came close to the plaza, music and cheering began to fill their ears. It grew louder and louder for each passing moment, until it had reached its peak. They had arrived. The place was full of people dancing and cheering, it was a gigantic party. In the middle of the massive crowd was a big furnace and from it rose a red, dense smoke. It was most likely the source of all this mist, Robin thought. The plaza was surrounded by stalls with different foods and drinks, which were crowded to the brink with hungry and thirsty individuals. Come to think of it, they hadn't really gotten much food in them since they arrived.

Robin suggested that they'd get something to eat at the stalls before continuing, which Lora and Nami agreed with. It was difficult to navigate through the endless stream of people, but they managed somehow. Lora made sure they didn't order the wrong things, as some of the food and drinks were seasoned with the aphrodisiac. For the local populace, these things were quite common as they were accustomed to the drug. But tourists, who had never had the stuff, had higher risk of overdosing and then taken advantage of. Looking a bit hesitant, Nami and Robin stared at their food, which had been aptly described as "stuff on a stick". However, the rumbling in their stomachs coerced them to dig in. The food was good, but had nothing on the cuisine that Sanji prepared for them. They didn't really expect this random stall to rival Sanji's excellence, but it's hard to not make comparisons when they get to eat so well all the time. Wait, where did Lora go?

"Hey, Nami. Did you see where Lora went? She was here just a second ago."

"No, I was busy stuffing my face."

"We should probably go look for her. She knows a lot more about this city than we do, it would be a bad thing to lose her now."

"I Agree. Should we split up?"

"No, I think it is better if we stay together; the crowd is way too big."

The two of them finished their meal and ventured into the dancing crowd. It was probably not the brightest idea they've had so far since it was like a mosh pit. Wherever they went, the two girls were assaulted by careless individuals or a plethora of grinding rumps, male and female. They searched and searched, but Lora was nowhere to be seen. Such a petite girl was more or less impossible to find in this mess. "Let's try looking from the outside." Robin suggested. As the two had finally escaped the madness, they were quickly yanked back into it by a mysterious person.

"What are you two doing!? Get down!"

"What the… Lora!? Where did you come from?" Nami asked, startled by the girl's sudden appearance.

"That doesn't matter; just keep your heads down."

"Lora, what's going on? What are we hiding from?" Robin asked.

"Him." Lora pointed towards what seemed to be an obese noble standing not too far from them.

"The fat guy?"

"Yes, Nami. The fat guy."

"Why are we hiding from him?" Robin continued.

"Why? Because that man is an insane, sadistic fuck, that's why! He's the one who ordered all the workers away from the factory district. HE is the one ordered the production of Ruby's Kiss. That fat sack of shit is the one behind everything evil in this city."

Lora was clearly not amused by the presence of this individual. She stared at him, gritting her teeth in anger. She looked ready to murder him on the spot if the opportunity would present itself to her. Robin stood silent, observing the situation as best she could. The haze of the mist was getting to her and rational thoughts were hard to form. All she could think about was plowing her lover as much as physically possible. Robin shook her head, "Focus, Robin" she thought. "I can't give in to lust just yet. I have to keep an eye on this one."

"So, who is this guy?" Nami asked.

"The fat fuck calls himself God King the Creator."

"Oh… one of those guys."

"That's just a self-appointed title with no significant value. He's not a god, he's not a king and he certainly hasn't created anything! No, his really name is Victor LeBlanc. Grandson to Laurence LeBlanc, the man who founded this city."

Upon further observation, Robin noticed Victor talking to a couple of decorated guards. They were most likely lieutenants or higher. She crossed her arms and let an ear grow on the back of Victor's suit. As she listened in, Robin could feel her arousal increase at a slow, but steady pace. Her face was completely red and her breathing was heavy. Her eye kept glancing over at Nami and her fine physique. "We have to get out of her before this mist drives me insane" she thought. It took most of her strength to not just tear of her clothes and masturbate on the spot.

"We need to leave, right now. This mist is really getting to me." Robin said.

"Yeah, sure." Lora replied, noticing how Robin struggled with her self-control. "I know a place where a couple of my friends work. We could stay the night there."

"That sounds like a plan to me; I can't wait to get out of these clothes." Nami moaned as the wind blew up her skirt, stimulating her exposed pussy.

Robin and Nami snuck after Lora who led the way through the crowd. The group made their way out of the crazy plaza and on to the road east. After several minute of frantic walking, the three found themselves outside of an establishment called The Slobbering Wank. "Whatever…" Robin thought as they headed inside.

A bright light blinded Robin as she stepped inside, making it hard to see where she was going. Lora told them to sit tight while she got the keys for their rooms. Robin regained her vision and has her senses kicked in; she realized she had gone from one crazy place, to another. Not only were there people dancing and bodies grinding against each other on the dance floor, but there was sex going on everywhere. "It's a brothel, of course it has to be a brothel." Robin thought, feeling her privates burn and throb with desperate need. Nami and Robin stood and watched the display in front of them, relieved that there were no excessive use of the drug like outside. Lora came skipping back with a grin, swirling the keys on her finger. "Are you two ready for some action?" She chuckled. The two just nodded and followed her upstairs. They entered the hallway where all the rooms were located and gathered in front of their room.

"You guys take this room and I'll take the one next to it. I can imagine you two needing some time alone after spending a whole evening in the mist." Lora said, giving the two a wink as she grinned. She was well aware of the events that would soon take place between the girls.

"Thank you." Robin said, grabbing the key with her shaking hand.

"See you tomorrow!" Lora cheered, giving the girls a final, wide smile before she disappeared into the room next to them.

Robin looked over at Nami and saw her biting down on her lower lip. Her eyes looked hazy, most likely drunk from the mist. Robin couldn't blame her though, she probably looked the same. She placed the key in the lock and turned. Nami suddenly pushed her aside, slammed the door open and rushed inside. Surprised at her friend's action, Robin followed her inside and locked the door behind them. She looked around to see where Nami had gone, but couldn't see her anywhere. She took a few steps inside that saw that there was another room. "Right, this is the living room and that's most likely the bedroom." Robin thought. Her reasoning was flawless, but a bit slow. And surely, she found Nami in a kneeling position on the bed, grinding the air with her moist, dripping slit. Robin's jaw dropped slightly at her lover's perverse performance. Nami's head was planted firmly on the bed and her ass was raised as high as it could be, giving Robin a most pleasant invitation. Nami hadn't even bothered to undress, so her skirt made a perfect frame for her behind.

"Stop wasting so much time and fuck me, Robin!"

"…" Robin just stood there, mesmerized by the bobbing rump in front of her.

Robin quickly snapped back to reality and stumbled awkwardly as she tried to get her clothes off. She grabbed one of the last rumble balls in her bag and bit into it. Her arms crossed and forth grew an eight inch cock with a set of matching testicles, just above her lovely little clitoris. She took a step forward to initiate the, much needed, fornication procedure. But as she did so, her feet snagged on the clothes she had dumped on the floor and she tumbled forward. If it hadn't been for the mist, she surely would've been much more gracious. Her legs caught the end of the bed and her upper body faltered over the unsuspecting navigator. Robin did her best to stop the momentum, but it was too late. Her face crashed straight into Nami's moist privates, giving off a rather audible "splat".

"Oooh! Aren't we the eager one?" Nami moaned, unaware of Robin's clumsiness.

Robin did try her best to come up with a witty reply for the cheeky girl, but ultimately failed. "Fuck it, let's just do it." She thought, can't bother with words when she's this horny. Robin opened her mouth and munched down on Nami's love button. The navigator moaned as her clitoris was being worked on by Robin's eager tongue. The wet invader circled, flickered and sucked on her tender bud. Nami's gasped as her mind was being swept away by the passionate and skillful archeologist. And if that wasn't enough, she felt her crotch burn even further as Robin let Nami grow a cock of her own. Her new, erect appendage strained and twitched with need, ready for any pleasure coming its way. Nami gritted her teeth as she felt a pair of balls grow, just beneath her quivering meat. They ached and expanded until they were of considerable size and weight. Pleased with her work, Robin licked Nami's left, golf ball-sized nut and gave it a lengthy kiss.

The cock in front of her jumped in surprise, coercing Robin to keep going, which she eagerly did. Robin grinned and held the cock firmly in her hand as she guided her tongue from the head, all the way up to the base. She repeated this several times before returning to Nami's wet vagina. Robin started sucking and licking on her lover's clitoris once more, but this time, her right hand slid up and down Nami's pulsating member. She loved how hard and warm it felt in her hand. Robin lowered her remaining hand and grabbed her own throbbing dick, giving both of them a nice and slow rub. Nami grunted and moaned as the pleasure inside grew larger and larger. The hand around her cock picked up paced and tightened its grip.

Both of them moaned in synch as Robin brought her lover closer and closer to the sweet release that was so undeniably required. Nami raised her ass, if only slightly, pleading for more. She felt her balls clench and contract inwards as her orgasm approached. With a scream of joy, her cock and pussy was brought over the edge and streams of cum shot out all over the bed. Robin didn't let up though, her tongue and hand kept up their assault, prolonging Nami's earthshattering orgasm. Pools of ejaculate formed on the sheets before slowly being absorbed by the fabric. Robin kept jerking the navigators cock well beyond the point where she had stopped cumming.

"Don't stroke my cock after I just came, It's too sensitive!" Nami moaned.

Robin didn't answer; her mouth was too busy eating that divine pussy in front of her, all while making sure to specifically stroke the head of Nami's sensitive cock. Nami tried so swat the hand away, but Robin grew a pair of arms at the other end of the bed and restrained her mate, making sure that she wouldn't be disturbed. Nami kept pleading her lover to stop stroking her sensitive head, but Robin sped up, making it harder and harder for Nami to keep her cool. She shifted her attention from the moist slit in front of her and started sucking and pulling on Nami's testicles. Nami started whimpering frim the intense pleasure her pulsating shaft was being forced through.

She could feel how Robin pulled her balls further away from her crotch, making her grunt in approval. Once again she could feel herself being pushed towards the edge. Robin tightened her grip even further and stroked the cockhead as fast as she could. Just as Nami let out another scream of pleasure, she let go of her friend's cock and let it spasm in the air. The cock jumped, desperate for the slightest attention. Nami moaned while her cock slowly released its sperm over the bed. Robin grinned and licked the aching cock before her, teasing it as it was forced through a torturous ruined orgasm. A few moments pasted before Nami's throbbing dick finally stopped oozing cum, leaving it in a harsh, needy frustration.

"Fuck, Robin! You made me cum so fucking hard."

"Glad to hear it. I really love making you scream."

"Mmm, but I think it's your turn now." Nami said, presenting her wetness for Robin.

Robin rose and guided her throbbing cock towards Nami, letting it slide up and down her moist slit. She bit her lip and grabbed the ass of her friend while slowly letting the tip of her cock enter her. It was too much for her as the tight fold enveloped her; she almost came on the spot. Robin pressed herself forward until all of her was inside. Nami squeezed her friend for all she could and started rocking back and forth, forced the cock in and out of her moistness. Robin gasped and pressed herself against her friend, forcing the cock all the way in, slapping her balls against Nami's. She pulled out and forced it back in, over and over until she rhythmically fucked that sweet, tight pussy.

Both of them started moaning to the beat of their thrusts and groaned as their balls crashed into each other. After several hours of that obnoxious mist, Robin could finally release her frustration and fuck the brains out of her adorable companion. She almost started drooling, she was that fucking horny. The tight, wet and welcoming vagina really didn't help the matter either.

"Fuck, I'm going to cum!" Robin screamed.

"Oh, yes! Fill me with your fucking cum, Robin! Let me feel that hot load inside me!"

With a final thrust, Robin unloaded straight into the eager navigator, burning her insides with hot, sticky juice. Robin's balls contracted and pumped as if nothing else matter. Load after load of cum shot out of her shaft, sending both of them into a sexual high. As the last drops of sperm left her cock, Robin slumped over and landed on Nami's back.

"Roll over and sit on your ass." Robin ordered.

"W-we're not done?"

"No. My vagina needs a good pounding too.

"Oh right, of course. Silly me." Nami said, giving off an awkward chuckle. Forgot about that.

Nami rolled over and did her best to sit herself up. After much struggle, she finally managed to rest her back against the wall behind her. Her cock still stands tall, despite everything it's been through. Just goes to show that Robin isn't the only one with a hard on for perverse pleasures. Robin knelt over Nami, slowly getting penetrated on that wonderful pole of meat. With the cock all the way inside, Robin let her body rest for a moment, relishing in the feeling of connection between the two. She looked at Nami with a smile and slowly moved in to kiss her. They closed their eyes as their lips met, and with their passionate kiss Robin slowly began to ride her lover.

Nami, free from Robin's hands, embraced the archeologist in a tight hug as their tongues danced. Robin did the same, pressing her tits against Nami and trapping her own cock between them. Nami moaned into her lover as her cock got the ride of its life. The tightness of Robin's pussy drove her mad, and it didn't take long for her to reach the edge once again. Nami freed herself from their kiss and gasped as her cock strained and pumped her friend full of hot cum. Robin almost came right on the spot, but managed to hold out as she felt her insides being coated by Nami's love. As Nami's orgasm died, she fell back and hit the wall behind her, completely spent.

Robin rose and let the ejaculate inside her pour out, making it run down her friend's quivering cock. But she wasn't done yet. She shifted her position and let her legs coil around the back of Nami, as she let the cock penetrate her once more. Together with her arms, her legs tighten around Nami and held her in a death grip. She grinned at the confused and slightly alarmed navigator.

"Y-you can't be serious…?"

"Oh I'm very serious. I haven't even cum yet." Robin explained, tightening her pussy around Nami's sensitive cock.

"Please, I don't think I can take anymore! My cock is way too sensitive… Let me give you a blowjob instead?"

"Nope."

And with a mischievous chuckle, Robin started fucking the poor navigator. She started building momentum as quickly as she could; making sure Nami's sensitive cock didn't get any rest. Robin swung her body up and down, back and forth, clenching down on the shaft as much as possible. Nami screamed as the pleasure in her groin rose far beyond what she was used to and she dug her nails into the back of her friend. The sharp pain only made Robin more enthusiastic and began slamming her sex against Nami's. Feeling her orgasm approach, she locked her lips with Nami and continued her assault. Both of them managed a final thrust before being enveloped in a mind shattering orgasm.

Nami came inside her friend once again, but with far less cum escaping her cock. Robin, however, threw her head backwards and arched her back from the insane spasms her pussy was going through. Her arms lost their grip and she fell flat on her back. Nami did what she could to support her lover, but only ended up holding Robin's hips in place. Several minutes passed and they were both still locked to each other, but they were slowly regaining their composure. Robin was still on her back, writhing in pleasure from her intense orgasm. Her cock was still rock hard and towered above her abdomen.

Nami looked down on her friend, looking at her jumping dick. She released one of her hands from Robin's hip and placed it on the unsuspecting shaft. Robin's eyes shot open as a surge of pleasure thundered through her entire being. She came, and she came hard. Her cock erupted, painting her tits and face with hot cum. Some even flew past and landed on the floor behind her. Startled by the sudden ejaculation, Nami pulled her hand away from the pulsating shaft and watched the spectacle unfold. After a minute or so off ejaculating cock, Robin stopped moaning and her body went lifeless.

"Are you okay? Nami asked, barely holding herself up.

"…" Robin was fast asleep.

"Haha, all tuckered out." Nami's smiled triumphantly.

Nami grabbed her cock, which was still inside of her friend, and pulled it out. She tried to push Robin's legs to the side, but failed miserably, she was just way too tired. Nami closed her eyes and leaned back. "Who cares? This is actually quite pleasant," she thought. And with that she relaxed her muscles and slowly let herself drift off to sleep.

Later, the following morning, Nami woke up to the pleasant sound of running water. She opened her eyes and surveyed the room; it was most likely Robin taking a shower. She rose from the bed and stood up, stretching her body to rid herself from any stiffness. "Maybe I should've pushed Robin into a better position than what she was left in…" she thought. As Nami left the bedroom, the sound from the bathroom stopped. "Great, I can finally get cleaned up!" She tried opening the bathroom door which, to her surprise, actually worked. Maybe she was just a bit too paranoid, but she should probably tell Robin to lock the door next time. This wasn't the Sunny after all. Nami opened the door and was greeting by a beautiful, naked Robin.

"Good morning, Robin!" Nami uttered happily.

"Good morning." Robin smiled back, standing with only a towel in front of her waist.

"Can I use the shower, or do you need some more time?"

"Sure, I just need to dry up and won't be needed any water for that." Robin chuckled. "By the way, I cleaned your clothes while you slept. They're in the living room, on the sofa."

"Oh wow! You've been busy." Nami replied.

"Haha. No, not quite. You've been asleep for roughly 11 hours. It's almost noon."

"Oops…" Nami blushed.

The two finished their conversation and Robin left Nami to her shower. Robin got herself dressed and giggled, surprised that Nami hadn't noticed yet. It was at this point that the door to their apartment was unlocked and flung open. In came a rather invigorated Lora with a cart of food, apparently she had brought breakfast.

"So I take it that you two had fun yesterday" Lora grinned.

"Yes, it was very refreshing." Robin replied with a wink.

"Oh I bet it was. I've always wondered what it's like to have a cock and how it would feel to fuck a pussy." Lora was getting quite excited. Poor thing had probably been forced to listen to them all night from the other side of the wall.

Before Robin got the chance to answer, Nami had finished her shower and was standing butt-naked in the living room, staring at the two. She had probably heard the door open and wanted to see who it was.

"Lora, would you mind giving me the clothes you're sitting on."

"Oh! I didn't notice them, sorry." Lora handed Nami her clothes.

"I guess I can forgive you, you brought us food after all." Nami teased.

The group laughed and when Nami had been dressed they went straight to devouring the breakfast. During the course of their meal, they discussed the issue with the man they saw before. Lora told them that Victor LeBlanc is of noble birth and sees himself well above the ranks of normal people. He inherited the wealth of his father and grandfather and is now building a massive drug empire from their success and the discovery of Ruby's Kiss. Lora explained that island hosts a massive, red tree in its center that excretes the sap used for the drug. Victor's research team became aware of the saps properties and tried to use in its natural form. This ended up killing all of the people who consumed it.

The sap forced the victims to cum endlessly until their hearts failed. Later, the researchers noticed that the lake surrounding the tree had a percentage of diluted sap in it. It was apparent that the tree excreted sap into the lake from its roots. They tried using the diluted sap in their experiments instead and found out to get far better results than from the pure sap. The water didn't outright kill the people who took it, but instead they fell into a deep coma, stuck in a limbo of sexual arousal. Finally achieving some form of success, Victor had a massive dam built to the northwest of the city, to block the sap escaping into the sea. Seeing as the sap was too dangerous in its natural form, Victor had another facility built next to the dam so they could break down the sap and make the drug you see today.

The percentage of sap increased over the years and started to affects the forest that surrounds the lake. The forest grew large and hostile, to the point where some species of plants were able to move around and attack other plants and animals. This was roughly ten years ago and the island has changed drastically during this period of time. So much so that Victor had the outer wall built five years ago to prevent the city from being attack. But the forest only grew larger and larger, to the point where plants started growing above the wall and started attacking the factory district. This is when Victor built the larger, more fortified, inner wall. That was three years ago, so you can imagine the insane growth of the forest.

Not wanting to keep building walls and losing parts of the city, Victor had another facility built in the northeast. This new building was dedicated to learning more about the mutation the forest is going through. They send soldiers there on a regular basis, chopping, burning and destroying all plants in the vicinity as it kept growing back. This is where they sent the majority of the people that worked in the factory district. He also had the dam vent the contents of the lake into the sea from time to time, to try and regulate the growth of the forest. "So that's what the red stuff they saw when they approached the city," Robin thought.

"I'm guessing the facility northeast from here is where they keep your father?" Robin asked.

"Yes. I highly doubt dad had the qualifications to work at facility where they make the drug. They probably force him to gather samples of the plants used in the studies." Lora replied.

"So it's obvious where we need to go from here, but how do we get there?" Nami pointed out.

"We'll have to go by foot, through the forest. There's a large dirt road leading out from the eastern district." Lora explained.

"I don't think that will be necessary. There's an underground tram system going between all three major points of interest. It's most likely how they transport the drug to the city and supplies to the facilities without having to risk going through the forest." Robin pointed out.

"What!? How do you know all this??" Lora asked, rather confused.

"I used my ability to eavesdrop on Victor. They're sending troops to the northwestern facility. Apparently there's something big happening at the dam."

"…" Lora sat silent, biting her nails. "But surely this tram system is heavily guarded?"

"That's true, but we should be able to infiltrate, dress up as soldiers and then sneak off and head towards the research facility."

"Oh… Yeah, that could work." Lora didn't seem too fond of this idea.

"So where is this station?" Nami asked.

"It's in the northern parts of the slums." Robin explained.

"Why would they build it there? Would be much better if it went straight to the central district right? That's where they sell and use the stuff."

"I have no idea, but that's where we're going."

"Are you guys sure about this? The slums are infested with deadly plants and wild animals. I think it is way too dangerous." Lora stated.

"It' safer than venturing into the jungle, where there should be even more dangers." Robin replied. Lora didn't say anything, she only nodded in acceptance.

With that, the three finished up any remaining tasks that needed to be done and headed outside. As they left the establishment, they noticed a lot of guards walking around, talking to the citizens. The guards held a wanted poster, asking the people if they had seen the person on the poster. Curious about what was up; Lora approached one of the guards and asked what was going on. The guard turned to her and showed her the wanted poster. Lora gasped at the picture and froze in place. The guard raised an eyebrow and looked behind the startled female and saw Robin. He instantly started screaming and picked up his whistle and blew. The poster was dropped and fluttered until it landed on the ground. It was Robin's wanted poster. Lora instantly ran towards the two, grabbed them and they ran as fast as they could away from the gathering mob of guards. This was going to a lot harder than they thought…
