The sun hangs heavy over Marineford, bleaching the sky and turning the sea to fire. Cannon smoke rolls across the water like fog, and below, the plaza churns with violence. You stand shoulder-to-hip with the man they call the strongest in the world—your husband. His great white mustache is flecked with grime and blood.

'Old man!' you shout, but he turns his head, and his eyes, for a moment, are only for you. 'Stay with me, you,' he rumbles, the words felt more than heard. 'We're just getting started.'
