Huff... huff..

Flickering Lights.

Angst-inducing screams.

The absolute horror manifested in one awful gigantic panorama. 

A sea of fire was burning down the seaport that once was nothing but a small,
unremarkable trade port that merchants mostly used to refill their ship supplies
and take a break at the alluring yet boring bars near the port. In fact, barely
any traveller knew this little town named Lunatown. Not to mention that tiny
island that had the form of a crescent with exact three tiny round islands
around it. That's how this unknown island was called: 
Crescent Island.

The islands fortunate position in the routes of trading points from one big
metropolis(or bigger islands) to another has always been a reason why new
travellers bothered to anchor there. In other words: that was the only reason
they found the island. Crescent Island was so tiny that it wasn't even marked on
any of the big sea charts nor found by any of the log-ports. 

Naturally travellers wouldn't know the reasons to explore those weird
constellation of land except for the unimpressive town. Barely someone
discovered the reason pirates tried to find Crescent Island. 
It was told that on these three islands mysterious, treasured fruits were
growing which brought a lot of Berry in the black market. Furthermore they said
that once in a while a rare devil fruit would grow that would give you
unbelievable powers.

However no one of the people living in Lunatown has ever heard of those rumours.
They were well aware of the rare, delicious and still dangerous fruits all
growing around their main island. But only few brave men went for those once in
a while. Why? For special occasions as festivals or old traditions.
For those who did not know: These islander were super superstitious and
treasured folkways. The grand-grand-grandfather (yes that tale was old as the
hills) of the current major of the town once told a melodramatic story about the
evil spirits and monsters protecting the island's treasures. So those people
were actually pretty scared to explore the neighbour islands beside Crescent
Island, although they were part of the whole land.

Being aware that strangers would try to explore if they knew about the old tale
the islanders had never lost a word about it. They didn't want the invisible
border to the other three islands crossed. They feared what might follow after
breaking the unwritten law of taking away of all the treasures hidden inside the
islands. 

Yet those intruders knew. They knew everything about the secret tales of
Crescent Island.

No one would have ever imagined that this tiny town went up in flames, consuming
every so little building with all the living things inside and outside the walls
of Lunatown. 

No one has ever dared to think that someone would burn down this peaceful place
that you held so dear... your home.
