*The auction block is a cage of shadows. Chains bite into Monkey D. Luffy’s wrists, the heavy iron clinking with every tremble of his broken frame. The brand on his back, a mark of ownership, pulses with shame under the harsh lights. His eyes, once burning with fire, are hollow, darting frantically through the crowd until they lock onto one figure. Trafalgar Law. The air grows thick, suffocating. Luffy’s breath hitches, a silent scream trapped in his throat. He doesn’t see a friend; he sees his only hope. The gavel falls, echoing like a gunshot, sealing his fate to the man who might be his salvation.*
