Chapter 101: Chapter 100: The Story of the Kelpa Fruit
"Yes." Haruto answered casually.
"But- but why?" Natsuki looked at Haruto with surprise.
"Because.... Because I'm afraid of dying..." Haruto hesitantly replied before continuing to finish his meal.
This made everyone silent, and Natsuki chose to eat in silence.
After an awkward silence for a long time, the conversation finally resumed.
"I still can't believe I can taste chocolate, from a strange fruit..." Lilyana muttered with an incredulous face.
"Well, the story about the fruit is even harder to believe." Haruto said as he drank his drink.
"Oh? Really? What story is that?" Lilyana, hearing this, became curious and asked Haruto.
"Do you want to know?" Haruto looked at Lilyana with a puzzled face.
"Yes!" Lilyana answered firmly.
"Well... This story begins a long time ago, when, at that time, order and organization did not yet exist, and people still did not believe in gods or goddesses."
"A time when people did whatever they wanted, a time when people would kill and hurt each other for wealth, a time when the sea was still ruled by humans."
"There was a famous and powerful group of pirates, they did not have a large fleet of ships or anything like that, but they had the best ship captain and crew, not only that, they were very strong and cruel, and knew no fear."
"They often robbed various merchant ships they encountered, and killed anyone they didn't like, killing was like eating and drinking for them."
"They were obsessed with treasure, such as gold, gems, and diamonds, until one day they had just robbed the wealth of the richest merchant in the entire sea."
"Where the merchant ship was not only filled with jewelry, but also filled with all kinds of food and drink."
But for them, food and drink were not too important, what was important to them was jewelry, because with treasures like gold, gems, and diamonds, they could buy a lot of food and drink, until there was no end.
In the end, they killed everyone on the merchant ship, including the merchant on the ship.
Before the richest merchant died, he witnessed the cruelty and brutality of the pirates.
Even the merchant's wife was raped by the pirates, before the merchant's wife was killed, in front of the merchant, and before dying, the merchant cursed the pirates.
Where the merchant cursed that the pirates would experience the most tragic death, and the most terrible fate.
Then the pirates sailed to an island, to use all their loot, but on their journey they encountered a huge storm, their ship was severely damaged, and they were trapped in the middle of the sea, and didn't know where they were.
In the end, they were trapped in the sea for weeks, and until all their food and drink supplies ran out, they tried to fish.
But there were no fish, they started to starve and thirst. Hunger and thirst made their heads not function properly.
They started to regret, choosing jewelry over food and drink, they were blinded by their greed. When they started to despair, they found an island.
Without hesitation, they all immediately jumped, and left the ship containing all the wealth they had acquired, where they swam towards the island.
But upon reaching the island, it turned out that the island had no food, no animals or fruits there, and not even clean water there.
