Seeing no one on deck, Bonney raised her voice and called out.
Still no one answered. In fact, several people were hiding in the cabin, preparing to ambush her.
"Hm?"
Bonney frowned and stepped into the cabin. She found Nami and Perona in the restaurant.
"It's you two. Isn't Ye Chen here?" Bonney asked.
Nami shook her head. "They went ashore."
"I see."
Bonney took a few steps forward and asked curiously, "Do you know where we are? My ship went off course, and I somehow ended up here. What a headache."
Nami smiled and shook her head helplessly. "We only just got here ourselves."
As they spoke, Perona suddenly struck from behind. A cold gust swept in as she threw a punch at Bonney's back.
The people Buck had copied were fakes, after all. The real Perona could release Negative Hollows, but her Copy could not.
A fake was still a fake.
The copies were counterfeits. They could look identical to the originals, but their abilities were another matter entirely.
"Hm?"
Bonney darted aside, avoiding Perona's attack just in time. At the same moment, she reached out and touched her. "You're not being very nice."
"Waaah..."
Perona instantly turned into a bawling little child.
The fake Nami was startled and hurriedly swung a fist at Bonney. The others attacked too, but Bonney reacted just as fast. Moving like the wind, she touched each of them, then landed lightly and snapped her fingers with a smile. A chorus of wails filled the restaurant. Everyone who had attacked her had turned into a child.
Buck reached the ship and heard the crying from a distance. He shook his head, quickly turned around, and left. Staying to fight would serve no purpose.
If Ye Chen was alerted, Buck might not get away
