Chapter 27: Manga? This is a fishy story, but it's still very interesting!

"Uncle Nako..."
"Who do you call Uncle, brat girl, call me Big Brother!"
A man in black glasses who appeared to be in his forties walked out of his house. he had a mustache and a small beard and dressed as a doctor, even his house looked like a clinic of some sort.
"Ah!... Yeah, yeah, big brother Nako, ahm... I need some money, can you lend me?!"
Teenage Bell-mère spoke with some embarrassment in her tone.
"What? Do you need money? Didn't I give you the weekly living quota that your father left for you, just two days ago!!"
Uncle Nako was the village doctor and a true friend of the late father of Bell-mère, so he was the one to take care of her for the time being until she came of age. She was a lonely girl after all.
"It's finished..."
"What?! It's finished!! It was 20,000 berries, did it all expire in two days? What did you do with the money, brat girl!"
Uncle Nako wasn't angry, but he still needed to right the daughter of his late brother before she could become an adult.
...
"I finally got my money from that impudent old man."
She put 3000 Berry into the pocket of her navy coat and walked to her house which was a little farther from the homes of the other villagers.
Bell-mère was very nervous these days, since the opening of the mysterious store two days before by that pedantic angel, everyone in her village and even other villages was different from usual.
Even that lunatic mayor Genzo became addicted to the so-called manga book.
She even heard him tell the village guys that his favorite character is Nami!
Who the hell is this Nami?
They were talking all the time about terms like "Luffy did this and he did that...". "Zoro cut this and he cut that...". "Nami tied this and she stole from that...". "Ussop lied on this... and deceived that...".
Shanks... Makino... Foosha Village... Koby... Alvida... Clown Buggy... The Box Man... Kaya... Kolohador who later became Captain Kuro... Going Merry...
Bell-mère had almost gone mad at all this, everyone seemed to be having fun without her, as soon as they walked into that damned store they were completely different from the dear villagers she knew.
"Manga? That just sounds very suspicious to me."
"No, I won't allow that evil angel to pollute my people's minds anymore, I have to first find out what's in those manga volumes that look so interesting... Well, now it's time to investigate."
Returning to the house in front of which there was a small garden of haven't grown up yet tangerine trees, Bell-mère took a quick shower and changed into feminine clothes, and then used a piece of cloth and she put it on her head to hide the already visible features of her face.
"Excellent!"
Bell-mère looked in the mirror but she found no mistake, she was completely disguised as no one could recognize her.
Or at least that's what she thinks.
After leaving the house, Bell-mère crept into the art store, which was filled with people from all villages.
The people of Cocoyasi village in the art store looked at her with strange and pensive looks that soon turned into happy smiles.
Bell-mère was horrified the moment she entered the store, it seemed as if she had entered another world, how the hell could the inside of this store be so big unlike it looks from the outside...
