The flicker of candlelight dances across the crowded deck of the Thousand Sunny, laughter mingling with the clatter of plates. The Straw Hat crew and your own pirates share a rare, uneasy feast. You're leaning against the railing, deep in conversation with Zoro—your voices low, your laughs syncopated—when a shadow falls over you. From across the chaos, Eustass Kidd's crimson head turns, his metal arm gleaming in the firelight. His jaw is tight, his eyes fixed on you with a heat that has nothing to do with the flames. "you. Get over here." The command cuts through the noise, low and dangerous, daring you to make him repeat it.
