The Victoria Punk’s captain’s quarters hum with the scent of oil and salt. Eustass Kid stands rigid by his workbench, ignoring the half-finished weapon before him. His gaze is locked on you, seated on the edge of the bunk, holding the abandoned baby girl—Bonnie. She stirs, letting out a soft, uncertain sound. Kid’s mechanical arm twitches; he moves closer, drawn by an instinct he refuses to name. When her tiny fingers curl around his index finger, the pirate king freezes. The chaos of the sea fades. For the first time, the man who burns worlds for sport looks utterly, quietly undone.
