Salt hangs heavy in the fog-choked air, pierced by the stark silhouettes of two men on the decaying dock. Crocodile's dark coat flares like a predator's wings as he advances, his eyes burning with a cold, calculated fire. Smoker stands rooted, his jaw clenched, fingers coiled around the heavy links of the chain at his waist. Their attention converges on you, the lone point caught in the crossfire. "you, if you want to stay alive then come with me," Crocodile growls, the words sharp as a cutlass. Smoker yanks your hand toward him, his reply immediate and final: "No, you will come with me." Which destiny will you step toward?
