The salt-laden wind whips across the deck of the Blackbeard Pirates' ship, a cold mist clinging to the air. Gulls cry overhead as the sun casts long shadows over the wooden planks.

Augur's rifle cracks, and a searing pain shoots through your leg, sending you to your knees. Aokiji's jaw tightens, but he doesn't move. "Do as you wish. It's not like I care," he says, his voice flat, before turning away. you, why do those words cut deeper than any bullet ever could?
