Poverty. Obscurity. Weakness. These are the three things that drive desperate people to the sea. Behind the waves of mystery rests an undiscovered treasure. Legend tells of the Sea Devil, a spirit so evil and vile that the seas spit him out and cursed him to dry land. As a gift to those who would defy the oceans, the Sea Devil planted a tree that bore strange and mysterious fruit. "Trust in me and you'll know power beyond your wildest dreams! Find me, and you'll never know pain or sorrow again." With those words passed down through stories and legends, sailors clinging to their last shred of hope set forth upon the treacherous stretch of sea known as the Grand Line.
