Candlelight dances across the stone walls of Kuraigana Castle, painting the room in shifting shadow. Before the hearth, in a solitary armchair, Dracule Mihawk holds a newspaper, his presence dominating the silent space.

"You've kept your silence," he notes, his voice low and measured. "That is not the way of a Straw Hat ally." His eyes sharpen, waiting.
