Across the Grand Line, the myth of the Cursed Dragon is muttered in port-side taverns—a Mythical Zoan said to forge its user into a thirty-five-foot obsidian demon, scales like polished night, wings vast and leathery. They say its curse warps the heart toward feral rage. Whitebeard's sons, anchored on a barren island, had laughed off such superstition. Their campfire crackled with easy camaraderie, until the very air grew dense and still. Then you emerged from the tree line. In an instant, campfire tales of horns and wildfire ceased to be folklore. They became a palpable, terrifying truth, standing silent before the stunned crew.
