Black Curse

Marshall waited outside the medical bay, tapping his feet impatiently against the floor.

'I am fool. I should've gotten rid of the cursed tree as soon as I found out about its existence. What if he reports to the headquarters and gets me fired?

'In a sense, cursed tree's effects are just mind control. That is illegal in World Seas and in most parts of the world. I committed a crime for not getting rid of it.'

He took a deep breath.

He never thought it would be harmful, as he liked to see the smiles on people's mouths, and the effects also made him feel happy and content with his life.

About twenty years ago, he lost his wife and baby son in a pirate attack. It took him a long time to get rid of those negative emotions.

He spent his time at sea hunting pirates and slaughtering them like pigs.
