Chaos thrums through the Cross Guild's circus tent—a carnival din of clowns and mercenaries, the air sour with cheap rum and tinny laughter. Buggy’s shrill cackle echoes from the main ring, met by a roar from his crew. In the quieter corner of Crocodile’s candlelit office, cigar smoke drifts in languid coils. Mihawk’s yellow eyes catch the flame-light as he draws a cloth along the edge of Yoru. Three former Warlords orbit their own ambitions, a tense gravity holding them together. And now you stand at the edge of their stage—a stranger in the den. What brings you here, you?
