Name: Mother of Curses - Sword of Night
Creator: (the character who made this item)
Owner:
Iken NamikazeType: Weapon
Appearance: The sword looks like a normal saber other than the obvious black blade. The saber is moderately curved with a short bevel grind and a long narrow fuller. When combined with a short, sharp, clip point, these features make for a very stiff, strong blade capable of delivering fearsome cuts and thrusts while shrugging off abuse that would break a lesser sword. To help protect it from rust, the blade was polished to perfection. It is a Saijo O Wazamono grade sword that sports a very sharp blade and made from a extremely durable metal. Despite the long 36 inch blade it is a one handed blade, the handle is six inches long with a large round hand guard with air holes.
Use: It's used for whatever the user needs it to be used for. A weapon for the most part though.
Special abilities: The blade obviously has certain abilities that make it more powerful than any other grade of blade. It is made of a more durable and heavy metal making it as hard/durable as diamond. This gives it the ability to not be broken by normal ware and tare not matter the damage. Its heavy blade also gives it a much more powerful cutting force when it does hit allowing the user to cut harder objects than they normally would.
Nyx The Goddess of Night 125 million beli mythical fruit add-on. The weapon gains the fruit listed above, gaining two thorough special abilities and 300% to distribute to all natural stats.
Personality: Nyx is a very neutral goddess much like the night itself. She can be quite melancholic to some extent but Nyx can also be brutal and harsh. She is often described by mortals or demi-gods who have viewed her as beautiful and kind though like the darkness, Nyx doesn't always make her motives known. There are a lot of mixed views on this ancient goddess, some say she's sly and quick to anger and others say that's just the nature of a protogenoi, wise beyond mortal years
Ability One: Form Shift - Allows Nyx to shift or transform into all her zoan forms and obtain any stat boosts aforded by the specific form. This includes regular, full, hybrid, and any possible rumble forms or even monster and awakened forms made in the future. Full form Nyx is simply Nyx transformed into her full form walking around separately from the wielder of the blade. While in full form Nyx can choose to keep traits from the original form such as its sharpness or durability. Hybrid form allows Nyx to transform into a walking blade of night. She keeps and is able to freely wield all of her powers without the sword wielder. Generally in this form Nyx is made out of the same steel as the blade and has limbs as sharp as the blade giving her +20% cutting force. Regular form is the form Nyx will be kept in for the sake of the user and Nyx herself. The bladed form allows Nyx to keep her anonymity while keeping her night element and curse powers. This is the only form that does not obtain a stat boost
Ability Two: All Encompassing Night - Allows Nyx to use all of her powers and abilities in all her current and future forms. Even while being used as a sword the wielder can instruct Nyx to use her touch or elemental powers; these abilities can also be used passively.

History: The Dark Crusade was made long ago by a convent of monks that specialized in making weapons and various martial arts. The convent was an old and powerful group. It raised many young applicants that joined the Marines and various governmental agencies. The young from the group usually acceded and grew to be powerful high ranking members of whatever they joined. Despite their power for battle, they truly were talented in weapons crafting more so than anything else. Despite this talent the monks didn't produce swords of that magnitude every day.
Years of crafting took place to create the Dark Crusade, since it was created for someone vary special. One of the temples members made it through the ranks of the Marines and eventually became a Vice Admiral. Before it was officially announced the monks went to work crafting the perfect sword. The sword even the talented monks only thought to be a legend. However years went by, and the man was made a Vice Admiral officially, this give the temple a favorable look in the eyes of the Marines. Finally they would have a chance at government funding to pop out more potentially powerful applicants.
Unfortunately, days before the sword was finished and unbeknownst to the monk their nakama died in battle. In the following days the monks finished the blade sending it out to their dead comrade. The next day the monks received a letter saying the vary man they had just sent a sword that they worked on for years had died. The death ruined the chances at governmental funding coming anytime soon. With the time spent on the sword the monks had overextend themselves and in the next few years the convent weakened. Another tragedy struck soon after that would ultimately lead to the destruction of the monk’s temple. The Dark Crusade was stolen; the ship it was on was sacked by a group of powerful pirates.
Nearly a decade later the monk convent had dwindled in power and their numbers were few. Even the might stone temple it's self-seemed to begin to fall apart due to the despair filling the air. The once large gardens and fields of food they once used to feed and donate were all dried out and barren. Then out of nowhere something happened that would change the history of the vary Grandline. Pirates on the horizon appeared and were sailing towards the temple; this could only mean one thing. This was something unheard of and had never happened in the entire history of the monk convent. The ensuing battle was intense and despite the monks being horrendously outnumbered, the monks were able to kill a great number of pirates.
When the battle had ended and the dust was settled all of the monks were dead. It turns out the captain of the crew that had attacked was brandishing the saber that ruined them in the first place. However due to the massive loss of his crew, any wealth the captain may have gained from the already ruined temple was soon taken away. The captain’s reputation spread throughout the Grandline and many came to try their luck against the captain who took out the now mythical temple of the monks. Eventually the great captain was worn down and died a horrible death in a battle for power and reputation. This story played out for generation after generation only causing more bloodshed. Eventually the sword gained the name the "Dark Crusade” since every person’s crusade for power that involved this sword ended in a dark death.
Years and decades passed by without the sword finding a true master that could handle it's "
curse". Another of the typical large scale battles between the pirates and the marines ensued for possession of the sword. It lead the sword to the Steel Village, in the East Blue home of a certain twelve year old. The naval battle soon lead to a grudging land battle that destroyed the Steel Village and killed most of it's population. Complete destruction of the village and the entire island lead to the remaining population to use guerilla attacks on both the pirates and marines. With the chaotic war raging all side lost track of what they were fighting for so they could truly concentrate on winning the fight. A 12 year old boy name Iken Namikaze found the sword and took it for his own. Surprisingly the hectic battle brought unusual safety to the boy, no one would think that a mere child would be in possession of the mighty cursed Dark Crusade.
As the battle continued the guerilla tactics became more and more effective. Eventually the war was one by the rebels, only a handful of the warring pirates and marine were left. All of the remaining members of the two losing sides were being held captive as the Steel Villagers decided their fates. Now years later the 17 year old Iken brandished the sword like it was nothing more than a regular sword. For years this went on without anyone attempting to take it, as the villagers of the Steel had no knowledge of the great sword. Walking to the execution platform the young man watched as the high ranking pirates and marines were all sentenced to death. As the elder of the village spoke ropes were put around their necks, none of them seemed scared or in the least remorseful. One after another marine and pirate alike were until only the Captain of the pirates and the Rear Admiral and highest ranking member of the crew were left.
Pushing through the crowd to get a better view, Iken stepped into the view of the two doom men. Their eyes widened as they seen a mere boy with the sword, that they and their comrades fought and died over. The pirate's face grew bright and he smiled a deep smile before he let out a deep and bright laugh. The marine however didn't think it was so funny, his face shown a scowl with a death stare towards Iken that petrified the young man. With a surge of power the once powerful admiral, weakened by starvation and general mistreatment in the prison used the last reserves of his strength. The marine broke his shackles and took one of the executioner’s scythes slaying the man in the process. The hope of freedom seemed to give the man a second wind; he performed another, what Iken would have called a death stare. This time the entire crowd save a few passed out from seer will power from the marine. Iken found himself with his blade sticking out of his shoulder, it would seem that he instinctively had stabbed himself to prevent himself from passing out. Despite the brave act of self-mutilation the young man found himself once again petrified in fear of the attacker.
Blood shot out splattering all over the ground as the marines scythe hit the chest of it's target causing a fatal blow. Both the Rear Admiral and Iken's father fall to the ground. Iken's father breathed his last as blood bubbled out of his mouth; the marine looked out at Iken. He had fallen from exhaustion, malnutrition, and overexertion from his last stunt. Iken looked at the once great man on his knees and then at his father dead in a pool of his own blood. A shadow of darkness spread across Iken's face as the sword he wielded tasted blood once again. The once great marines head rolled on the ground as his body fell from its kneeling position. Just as the act of evil had taken Iken's innocence; a group of marine marched into the village looking for their own. Seeing he execution platform, Iken killing a high ranking officer with the cursed sword all reason left the mind of the marines. They attack with furry killing woman and children as well as the men all in an attempt to take revenge and the sword. A group of marksmen huddled together loading their rifles before the all shot at one target. All five of the men hit Iken riddling him full of bullet holes.
Blood poured from the many injuries as the young man slowly fell unconscious to the ground. Even after it all went dark he could still hear, smell and feel the battle raging on. A few more moments passed until Iken couldn't feel anything anymore, it was all gone. Warmth bathed Iken's face as something bright shown through his eye lids. Slowly opening his eyes Iken soon realized it was much to bright to see, everything was a bright white. However the man's eyes began to readjust and it turned out only to be the sun shining down on his face. Looking to his sides he could see he was on a small boat with a man wearing a flash red jacket. The man had a dark black hair that was in a ponytail, he was very thin and sickly looking. It was none other than the pirate that Iken had seen on the execution platform. Looking back at Iken as he moved slightly in a weak attempt to get up, the man spoke. "You've been out of it for three weeks boy; I was about ready to start chowing down on yurr'ass. Oh well I guess I can't do that now...get some rest." As soon as the man finished Iken was out once again.
When Iken woke up next he and the pirate had landed on a small island. Despite its size it provided more than enough for the two to survive on. In the next two years the pirate took the boy as his own and trained him in the way of the sword. He also taught him the knowledge he had obtained from all of his travels on the Grandline. With the pirate as a father to him, Iken almost forgot how much he hated pirates for bringing the battle to his old village. However Iken's dark side never did truly go away and his hate for marine and pirates alike stayed its course. When Iken's 19th birthday rolled around the pirate showed Iken something, it was the Dark Crusade the blade Iken long ago had claimed for himself. With the gift or maybe curse bestowed upon the young man he set out to conquer the East Blue and form or join a crew before heading for the Grandline. Two weeks later Iken returned as the old pirate's death rattle set in. For the first time in the history of the sword, the person in its possession didn't die a terrible death. This was all due to the kindness deep inside a man with a devilish dark side, it seemed even the looming darkness wouldn't slow down such a powerful will.
