Pirate: Hades!

"World Fighting Tournament? Interesting."

The mysterious man with short purple hair closed his eyes.

And in his mind, a picture of another sea area emerged.

A crow was standing on the eaves, looking at the newspaper thrown on the ground with its amazing eyesight.

It was a clone derived from his cells, with intelligence of its own, and Kaz was able to share Crow's vision.

There are hundreds of similar crows in the surrounding seas and on the ocean.

After the kendo tournament ended, Kaz continued his solo journey on the sea.

It was almost like sailing aimlessly on the sea.

There are no nautical charts or eternal compasses around.

Kaz had abandoned all those things, leaving only himself.

Only in this way can there be a sense of adventure, and Kaz likes to explore the unknown.

However, in order to avoid getting lost and disconnecting from the sea.

Whenever Kaz leaves an island, he leaves behind a crow clone for easy location.

There are hundreds of such crows on the sea.

Through these crows, Kaz can still keep an eye on what is happening on the sea at all times.

Avoid information lags.

He was seen sitting on a stone throne.

The sky was extremely dark.

In the same sea area, the other islands that Kaz had visited before still had sunny weather.

The environment of this island is very special.

The special magnetic field causes dark clouds to cover the sky over the entire island.

The light was very dim, as if it had already become night.

There are many such islands in the sea, which are called night islands.

It is spring all year round on Spring Island, but it is winter all year round on Winter Island.

And such an island is called Night Island, or Night Island.

As the name suggests, most of the time in the year is dark.

The sun can only be seen for a short period of time.

This island was something Kaz encountered unexpectedly on the ocean.

The surrounding waters are very dangerous, with reefs and whirlpools everywhere.

In other islands, this sea area is known as the "Sea of ​​Death".

Storms often arise at sea.

After traveling alone on the sea for many years, this unique situation aroused Kaz's interest.

Based on his experience, he was certain that in the center of this dangerous sea, there was a core, which was a mysterious island.

Kaz has encountered this kind of thing many times.

It is difficult for ships on the sea to approach.

This is a simple matter for Kaz, who can transform into a flying creature and fly through the storms.

Thousands of people were kneeling under the throne, all of them naked, with only their private parts covered with animal skins or cloth.

They all raised their heads and looked at Kaz with reverence and passionate eyes.

Kaz's figure sitting on the throne looked extremely majestic in their eyes.

These people are the original inhabitants of the island.

It has a history of thousands of years.

However, they have never been to the outside world and don't know what it is like.

They call themselves "Grum Clan", which means the dark clan, or the underground clan.

Because they cannot live in the sun.

Once the body comes into contact with sunlight, it will perish, and the vitality will be lost in a short period of time, just like meeting its nemesis, and then die.

Therefore, this dark island is a suitable place for them to live.

Normally, members of the Grum clan live on the ground.

Under normal circumstances, it doesn't matter, but the Night Island is not dark all the time.

During the three months from March to June every year, the clouds in the sky of Night Island disappear.

And they were all hot sunny days.

In such weather, the Grum clan can only live underground.

Moreover, the sunlight strangely does not disappear.

That is to say, during this period of time, there is no night on the entire island.

Therefore, the Grum clan could not leave the island at all, as if they were cursed.

This is a dangerous island with all kinds of ferocious creatures and a large number of night rats underground.

In order to survive, every member of the Grum clan is a soldier, and everyone maintains a relatively primitive way of survival, that is, hunting and fighting with the wild beasts on the island.

And before the "Day of Universal Illumination", a large amount of food should be stored.

After all, during the "Universal Days", they only have a small period of time at night to hunt, and they can also catch night mice underground for food.

After all, the food obtained from hunting is limited, so some reserve food needs to be prepared in advance.

In Kaz's opinion, despite their fear of sunlight, all members of the Grum clan are human beings, not Inhumans.

As the user of the Cell Fruit, just by obtaining the blood of a member of the Grum clan, he can uncover the mysteries contained in the genes.

However, after thousands of years of evolution and living in such an environment, the genes of the Grum clan have already undergone some changes.

Strong physical gifts, acute hearing, and the ability to see in the dark.

The combat instincts developed through long battles with wild beasts and night rats.

After thousands of years of evolution, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Grum clan is an Inhuman race.

In Kaz's opinion, all the members of the Grum clan are natural born warriors. As long as they are well-educated and learn to be domineering, they can become a powerful force.

The best among them undoubtedly have the potential to become top combat forces.

The Grum clan has civilization, writing, knowledge, and heritage.

Why did they change from the original people to a special clan that is afraid of the sun and can only live in the dark and underground?

According to Kaz's understanding, this is a cursed nation.

Thousands of years ago, or even longer ago, the ancestors of the Grum clan offended a powerful man.

The strong man put a curse on him.

The curse that would cause death upon contact with sunlight was rooted in the blood of the cursed, and their descendants also inherited this terrible curse.

For eternity, until all are destroyed.

Fortunately, the ancestors of the Grum clan found this Night Island and survived.

But at the same time, the Island of Night also became their prison.

This is the truth of everything. The enemy is most likely a user of the Cursed Fruit, and has developed the ability of the Cursed Fruit to the extreme.

Even if the user dies, the curse can never be lifted as long as the user does not take the initiative to lift the curse.

The reason why it is speculated that it is a devil fruit is because Kaz discovered that the armament domineering has the effect of resisting sunlight and weakening the effect of the curse.
