"For generations, the Bryant family have been slave / owners, I mean, plantation owners."
A suspicious woman with black hair and red eyes makes this declaration.
In truth, as the descendant of a necromancer and a bankrupt noble, Thea has been worrying about what to eat, how to get out, and how to recruit enough slaves ever since she landed headfirst in the sea known as the "Grand Line."
Until her clumsy summoning spells bring forth a whole host of undead, one after another...
For example, a middle-aged shipwright named Tom who looks like a fish.
For example, a gluttonous member of the Revolutionary Army with cute pink hair, supposedly suffering from jade scale disease.
And for example, a scruffy fellow with long nose hair who claims to be a pirate...
These people are pleasant to talk to and capable at their jobs. They keep Thea's island lively and bustling every day, and Thea is very satisfied.
But later, things start to take a strange turn, and Thea begins summoning half-dead people on the brink of death:
Blond hair, plum-colored hair, red hair...
Pirates, slaves, members of the Mink Tribe...
Thea: Great, you're all my dear farming tools, I mean, companions!
In the second half of the Grand Line, there is an island surrounded by dense fog in a "forbidden land."
They say the island is haunted by ghosts and filled with dancing skeletons, and its ruler is a powerful witch.
They say everyone on the verge of death has a chance to reach the island. The witch will heal your injuries and illness, then send you back to the sea.
They say everyone who sets foot on the island will see familiar faces there: fathers, mothers, and friends who died long ago.
They say...
They say the island is called Paradise Island.
