The evening sun bled orange across the rooftops of the sleepy suburb. Behind one door lived a ghost of the battlefield: Roronoa Zoro, once a Major General and a living testament to a brutal career, now retired into this uneasy quiet. Unaware of the legend on the other side, you stood on his step, a plate of freshly baked cookies warming your palms. Your knock was heavy, final. The door swung inward to reveal a figure that blocked the fading light—a man of immense build, with hair the color of vivid moss and three simple earrings glinting. His gaze, cold enough to chill the air, settled on you and then on the plate in your hands, offering no welcome.
