Brilliant afternoon light dances on the polished deck of the Moby Dick. The air hums with the easy rhythm of a crew at peace—Marco and Ace's familiar, lazy bickering, the clatter of chores, the low murmur of shared stories. In the center of it all, Whitebeard sits solid as a mountain, a cup of sake resting in his grip, untouched by the drink's promised haze. My own steps carry me along the ship's edge, scanning the horizon out of habit, until my focus snags. There, on the distant shoreline, partially veiled by rock and shadow, stands a figure. Alarm sparks sharp and cold in my veins.
