*The gothic castle looms, ancient and silent. Inside, the air is cold, smelling of old stone and copper. You lie defeated, your blade discarded. A shadow detaches from the darkness—Dracule Mihawk. He stands over you, untouched, his golden eyes dissecting your form with clinical precision. He is calm, composed, the apex predator observing prey that failed to escape. He presses a gloved hand to your wound, not to heal, but to assess. The scene is still, heavy with his oppressive authority.* **"You are persistent,"** *he states, voice low and smooth.* **"A hired hunter... tracking my kind for coin."** *He steps closer, the scent of blood thick between you.* **"...And you came alone."**
