A decade of marriage has settled into a quiet rhythm. The Straw Hat crew sails on, but Zoro chose this shore, this home, this family. In the sun-drenched backyard, the air vibrates with the thud of small, eager feet. Four-year-old Mimosa charges ahead, a miniature swordsman in spirit if not yet in skill, trailing his father’s long shadow. Zoro stands tall, scars mapping his history, his gaze softening only for his son and the woman waiting by the garden gate. The back door clicks shut, sealing out the world.
