Chapter 747: The Cursed Race
Kazu, who came to Night Island, conquered the Grum Clan with absolute strength.
As the only outsider to come to this Night Island in thousands of years.
Kazu could be said to be their only hope of breaking free from the curse.
Even if they couldn't break free from the curse, their wish was just to leave this Island and go to the Outside World.
As long as their body was completely covered, it would be fine; they could find a way to lift the curse themselves.
Naturally, there was a great battle among them.
However, Kazu's strength made them completely obedient.
In the legend of the Grum Clan, someone would come to this Island in the future and lead them to a new life.
And Kazu was undoubtedly that person.
In their eyes, Kazu was like a savior, their only hope.
That's why the current situation emerged.
Even the Patriarch and High Priest of the Grum Clan knelt on the ground without hesitation.
The main reason was that they saw the hope of lifting the curse and gaining freedom in Kazu.
And Kazu also saw the great potential of the Grum Clan.
Once they could be completely subdued, it would be a significant boost for the Kronos Kingdom.
This was a race with huge potential, capable of providing a group of excellent warriors.
The Kronos Kingdom highly valued the Variant Race because they often had a higher baseline.
Similarly, the Grum Clan was the same.
As long as they came to the Kronos Kingdom, they would quickly be able to play their role and contribute to the Kingdom's development.
Before that, Kazu decided to lift their curse.
If it was truly an effect brought about by the Curse-Curse Fruit, then it would be no problem at all for the Kronos Kingdom.
Kazu's elder brother, Dexiu, was a Paramecia Type Curse Fruit user.
Even if that didn't work, the Kronos Kingdom could research a way to solve the curse.
At worst, they could specially manufacture battle suits that cover the entire body for the members of the Grum Clan, allowing them to live under the sun without affecting their daily lives.
Just now, Kazu had already contacted the Kronos Kingdom.
He believed that the kingdom would react quickly.
For such a race with considerable potential, he knew the kingdom would not easily give up.
Seemingly sensing some movement, Kazu took out a mirror shard from his pocket.
With a flick of his hand, the mirror shard actually floated directly in the air, its surface shining with silver light, and the missing parts surprisingly grew back.
Soon, it transformed from a shard into a complete mirror.
And the mirror grew larger and larger, quickly becoming a large mirror five meters high and twenty meters wide.
The members of the Grum Clan watched this scene in great shock.
They had never seen such a sight before.
A small thing suddenly turned into a large rectangular mirror.
The magical means made them see hope, and their hearts became even more excited.
"Line up and enter the mirror."
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Kazu's face, and he slowly stood up.
Demonstratively walking towards the mirror, accompanied by ripples, Kazu's body entered the interior of the mirror.
Soon, he walked out again.
The members of the Grum Clan could only do as Kazu said now.
They could only believe Kazu now.
In groups of about ten, they stepped into the interior of the mirror in rows.
It could be seen that the members of the Grum Clan who were still waiting were very nervous inside.
Because what was behind the mirror was completely unknown to them.
Before this, Kazu had already told them in advance that next, they would directly leave this island through the mirror.
To live in the Outside World.
This was what they craved.
What's more, in the Outside World, there might be a way to help them break the curse.
But regarding the unknown, when they truly faced this situation, their hearts felt some fear.
The air was very quiet, with only the sound of the Grum Clan members walking.
Until everyone had passed through the mirror, Kazu slowly stepped through the mirror.
This was an extremely spacious area, large enough to accommodate over ten thousand people without seeming crowded.
The Sky was covered with thick clouds; today's luck was good, it happened to be overcast.
The Grum Clan looked at the Sky in surprise; for many of them, this was the first time they had seen a white Sky.
The surrounding environment made them feel unease.
They didn't know, but Kazu knew clearly that he had been to this place many times; it was the Army Base outside the Royal City.
He hadn't expected Jörmungandr to directly set the meeting location within the Military Base.
Around them, soldiers wearing army uniforms stood tall, their weapons placed at their waists or on their backs.
Just standing there made people feel a powerful aura.
The air seemed to be filled with a tense atmosphere.
And Kazu's gaze quickly noticed a few familiar figures.
Army General Zoro, Jörmungandr, and Dexiu.
Nowadays, Dexiu was already the Underworld Commander-in-Chief, managing the Family's Intelligence Force.
And Jörmungandr? He worked in the Royal Intelligence Agency and held multiple positions.
Zoro stepped forward two steps.
His gaze swept over all the members of the Grum Clan, and the invisible aura he released made them feel immense stress.
"I am Zoro, the Army General of the Kronos Kingdom. From now on, you are a part of this great kingdom."
Zoro's voice echoed within the Base.
Most of the members of the Grum Clan had blank expressions.
They had barely had any contact with the Outside World.
However, they didn't need to understand now; after a period of time, they would understand the greatness of the kingdom and then integrate into the Kronos Kingdom.
"His Highness, is the curse on them related to the Curse-Curse Fruit? Can you lift the curse on them?"
Zoro looked at Dexiu beside him and said respectfully.
"No need for that, Uncle Zoro."
A smile formed on Dexiu's face, and his gaze fell upon the members of the Grum Clan.
"I have already sensed a strong curse aura. For me, who holds the authority, it is simply too easy."
The so-called authority, naturally, is the Curse-Curse Fruit.
Curse Fruit users have created many mysterious legends on The Great Sea throughout thousands of years.
For example, the cursed gold coin is the wealth left behind by a certain Curse Fruit user.
And the cursed ghost ship, and so on.
As a Curse Fruit user, as long as it is a curse created by the Curse-Curse Fruit, even if it was left behind ten thousand years ago, Dexiu can easily lift it.
Many members of the Grum Clan's eyes flashed with bright light.
They understood the meaning in Dexiu's words, which was that Dexiu could lift the curse on them.
Happiness came so suddenly, it felt like a dream.
Indeed, the legend was true.
When the savior arrived, there was hope for the curse on them to be lifted.
The Patriarch of the Grum Clan, with an excited expression, directly knelt on the ground.
"Please help us, great kingdom, lift the curse that has been on us for a thousand years."
Hope was right before their eyes; soon, all the members of the Grum Clan knelt down one by one like dominoes.
A thousand years of persistence, finally welcomed hope today!
