Tarako Kingdom

The **Tarako Kingdom** is a kingdom and an island located in the South Blue. It was the homeland of both Pearl and Duros, and the backdrop to the Devil's Luck Pirates fight against both Eustass Valve and Captain Marrow. At the moment Kingdom is not heavily associated with the World Government, this may change in the future but right now it is under the watch of the Devils Luck Pirates.

It is the sixth island visited by the Devils Luck Pirates during the campaign.

## History

The Tarako Kingdom was under the rule of King Malachite for many years. He was a corrupt ruler that treated most of his subjects as property, not people. He had two children, a boy named Jasper and a girl named Pearl. Prince Jasper was destined to be the next king after King Malachite's passing. Princess Pearl, on the other hand, was fed a Mythical Dragon Zoan Devil Fruit.

King Malachite sharpened Princess Pearl like a weapon. He desensitized her to murder and destroyed her own self-respect. Thankfully, his attempts to weaponize the girl failed when Prince Jasper started an uprising. The boy was thrown into prison, to the horror of his knight servant Duros, but Princess Pearl managed to escape out to sea.

Princess Pearl and Duros later returned to the Tarako Kingdom, accompanied by the Devil's Luck Pirates. Together, they rescued all of the prisoners in the kingdom's jail and defeated both the dangerous Steam Pipe Pirates and Captain Marrow. Princess Pearl executed her father and Prince Jasper took the throne as the new, better king.

Now everything is happy with sunshine and rainbows, as Molly, Jasper, and the citizens are all having a great time. Tarako Kingdom is now currently not allied with the world governement and is under the protection of the Devil's Luck Pirates.

## Devils Fruits

The Tarako kingdom has many powerful Devil Fruits, from Pearl Ryu Ryu no Mi, Cyril's Mizu Mizu no Mi, and Marrow's Hone Hone no Mi. Although Marrow's fruit was only found 10 years ago, the fact that a Devil fruit was in this area at all is slim to none, but along with a mythical Zoan and the strongest logia is almost unbelievable. However the Kingdom is extremely rich, so that could be how they came into possession of one of their fruits.
