Chapter Six
Nami stayed up the whole night reading the book. She wouldn't take her eye off of it. But there was one part that she read over and over again, and that was the end of what only she, herself, saw. It took a while for her to understand it, but even then, she still had questions.
Every thousand years, when the night is calm, to moon is full and there's no star in sight, a storm comes to the island. There's thunder and lightning, total destruction and chaos. But there is more. Tsunamis, typhoons and cyclones come and attack the island, which ends up in nothing after the storm. But the only way to stop it, is by the hand of the one possessing the curse of the oceans sea.
When the storm approaches, the curse is laid upon the one who see the black moon. But betrayal will befall on this one, but in the end, the storm will cease.
Up upon the cliff, there is a stone tablet without writing. For the writing to appear, each piece to the puzzle of the manuscript must be placed together with the stone of the sea. When completed, the manuscript must be foretold aloud for the power of the curse to activate.
With this power, the storm can be overcome, but it may take a life with it. So, the cursed must be willing. Willing to give a life, to save many others. But that is not anyones decision, but of the one of the curse.
She sat there, thinking of why only she could see it. It was clearly another writing that the others couldn't read, but they would've seen it. And though it was a different language, she could still read it. But why could she read it? Could she be the one with the curse? The answer wasn't clear to her, but she instantly eliminated the possibility of her being the cursed. She continued reading it a couple more time, in search of this answer, before heading to the museum.

When she approached the museum, she was greeted by a middle-aged man. "Why hello there. My name is Lurono. I'm the owner of this museum."
"Hi, I'm Nami."
"I don't think I've seen you around before. Are you visiting?"
"Yea. I came here a few days ago. And actually, I came here today because I had a couple of questions."
"Well then, ask away."
"well, I"m not sure if you'll know; but have you heard of the curse of the oceans sea?"
"Hmm... interesting for a foreigner to know of that legend, because not many people here know of it. And honestly, I know very little, but I'll tell you what I know." He took a pause and collected his thoughts before continuing on. " Well, to start off, only the one with the curse of the oceans sea can see the black moon and the writing. But the writing of the manuscript was shattered and now the pieces are scatter all over the island. The pieces appear to be blank, but to the one with the curse, they can see what's written," he explained. "All that I have told you was all I now, and it may not be very helpful."
"Well, thank you. And actually, that was more than helpful."
"Well, feel free to look around."
Nami nodded her head before walking into the next room. She look at all that was there. There were all sorts of things, ranging from anchors, to salvaged ships to bones, to gems from the ocean floor. It was a sight to see. There was even a room full of old parchments and writings.

when she left the museum, she noticed that there was a dramatic decrease in the temperature. She could sense a storm, but tried not to think about the legend. It is just a legend. There's no need to get worked up about it.
It was mid-afternoon when she returned to the ship; and only Chopper and robing were there. But slowly, everyone started to return.
