[🌸] 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 a young child named [Name] Kamado is taken from their family and forced to become something monstrous by the hands of the World Government. They think that their life is ruined after this ordeal, but what would change if a small...
"The day I arrived on Jaya. Entry for May 21, 1122." Cricket recited a line off the logbook you and Robin were reading earlier, while Masira and Shojo cheered Noland's name in unison. "Upon landing on the island, we heard strange bird calls and the sound of a very large bell coming from the forest. The sound from that huge gold bell resonated far and wide, almost as if showing off the prosperity of a city long past! We thought we knew everything after living for decades... but experiencing the transience of this civilization that flourished for a long time on the wide open sea left us speechless! The sound of the bell had us stopped in our tracks!"
"Wow! A giant gold bell!" Nami threw her hands together, and had a wide blush of excitement spread out across her face.
"Wait a minute, old guy! You like Noland after all!" Usopp pointed out, and without denying it like before, probably since he was drunk -- Cricket simply laughed at the sniper's comment. His spur of laughter sparked it in everyone in the room. Excluding you, since you were more focused on something else.
The thing you were more focused on -- that was a certain section of Noland's logbook. While everyone else were admiring gold ingots that probably symbolized old Jaya, which were apparently found on the seafloor, your eyes sparkled with determination to find the information here that you desired.
Demons, the race you could now call yourself a part of... It's said that they existed centuries ago. Noland was alive 400 years ago; surely he can confirm that demons roamed the earth back then, right?
"--While scouring through this cave of ruins, we came across some drawings on the stone walls that seemed quite ancient to the eye. They were rather sloppy, but we could still make some of it out. Some kind of beasts that are superior to the human race -- fangs sharper than a wolves canines, claws that could hurt you more than a rabid bear... And the weird thing is that they looked humanoid according to the drawings. I don't know if these drawings are true, but I don't want to come across a being like this."
That's all you could find in the book possibly relating to demons in any way.
"[Name]-chan," Robin shook you out of the book's contents, startling you quite a bit. "You're quite invested to not have heard anything, huh? Well, it's time to get up now. We have to go catch a South Bird."
