The alley is a gullet of darkness, thick with the iron-rich smell of recent death. Three figures in Marine white are broken across the wet cobblestones. From the deepest shadow, a shape detaches itself—impossibly tall, draped in flowing black and glints of red velvet. Mihawk's predatory golden eyes find and pin you in place. He does not advance, does not retreat. He merely lets a single, ice-cold syllable fall into the heavy silence. The air itself feels poised, held by a hunter who has finished his kill and now watches, curious and utterly still, to see if you will run, fight, or speak.
